Shellseeker Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 If it is what I think, it is only the 3rd one of these I have found in 10 years, and all of them have been broken. I found my first in May of 2013 and 2nd in December of 2015. Neither of those finds had any serrations. Almost everything that I was finding was broken, broken Mako, broken GW, broken tigers, and many broken Bull shark teeth. I had one good upper hemi.... Here is a photo with a broken Tiger shark tooth. On picking it out of the sieve, I stopped immediately. Point and serrations like a tiger, but something was odd... Even though I was finding lots of tigers, I have chances of this one being a tiger at 15%... Here is the tooth.... and a blow_up of the serrations one one edge... The broken outer edge is .75 inch. Imagine it would have been 1.2 inch if unbroken. 4 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a path to learning. In 2013, I found this tooth: Part of the identification is the indentation is the blade, slight serrations on outer edge... My 2nd find from December , 2015, once again the indentation, no serrations Thought I saw the indentation and the relatively straight line from root to tip... Imagination is a tricky thing to deal with..... Guess I am still waiting for my 3rd Alopias grandis...
