Bone Valley Shark Tooth Identification


HunterMeg

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

Requesting one more ID tonight.  I received a bunch of bone valley teeth (mostly Megs), but a few others sprinkled in.

 

This beautiful speckled one is stumping me. It is not a hemp and not a lemon as can be seen in the photos.  It is just over 3/4”.


Do you think it is a bull shark?

Sorry, I can’t help at all with identification, but I wanted to welcome you to the forum and say how awesome looking that orange-ish one is as well as the speckled one. Those are neat looking teeth. Good luck with getting an ID, there are lots of shark folks on here and one of them will chime in shortly I’m sure.

Left tooth is snaggletooth shark Hemipristis serra

Middle tooth is of a requiem shark of the genus Carcharhinus, possibly a bull or whaler shark.

My guess for the right tooth would be either a grey reef shark or a lemon shark.

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!
