Hi everyone,

 

My friend has a shark jaw given to her that she would like to ID. Any details like the location of the find or era are unknown. Here are the best photos that could be obtained; please let me know if an ID is possible and thank you!

First off, this is not a fossil. It is a modern shark jaw. Can you take a close-up of one of the teeth?

 

Sorry I now see that you stated modern in the title.:wacko:

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Hi,

 

On your 1st pic, the jaw is positioned upside down (bottom up and vice versa). Most likely a Carcharhinidae, family that contains more than 30 different species...
