Jtob12 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Cannot remember how long ago I found this but it has been in my shark tooth collection for years assuming it was a shark molar of some sort but now that I am a little knowledgeable I know sharks do not have molars. Have not been able to find anything that looks similar online. Any suggestions would be great. thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 It is definitely a fragment from a tooth in the Meglodon lineage, but it is impossible to tell which one just from a small portion. Do you know where it came from? 2 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtob12 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I don’t remember the exact location as it was a while ago but Myrtle Beach most likely. Definitely east coast on the beach. I did not initially think meg because I have not seen any pictures of teeth with serrations in such good condition (especially on a broken tooth) and all the meg teeth I find on the beach are usually very worn Edited December 9, 2019 by Jtob12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I feel Dave is on the right track with Meg or not too distant relative. Here is a partial of a Meg. I found in a location where literally everything is tumbled, broken and water worn. This piece still has sharp crisp serrations too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
