Venice and Peace River Shark Tooth ID's

Recommended Posts

Howdy! I've been trying to properly ID some of my toothy finds from the Peace River and Venice Florida. Please let me know if I have misidentified any. Also, including a few that I am not sure about. Any help is appreciated! 

 

Pretty sure the are Megalodon, but not 100 percent. 

1.  2 inches top to bottom

Carcharinus (Bull Sharks? Whaler Sharks? Dusky Sharks?) Not sure what species.. Would like to narrow it down, but not sure about that.

Lemon Shark - I am pretty positive on the Lemon ID I just wanted to show this precious teeny tiny tooth:  It think that is a salt crystal growing on the side! 

12.

I agree with your identifications for #1-15, except #2 is not a Meg, rather Dusky or Bull. #14 is a Tiger shark, either Aduncus or Contortus.  I am thinking Aduncus, but it depends on twisting of the blade tip.

I have no idea on #16.  

Nice Finds....

#15 -- sorry, can't give a positive ID for this one, and although it may be worn, I think its main characteristic is that of a very nice "posterior" tooth.
