Hi all,

I found this tooth in a Monmouth County stream and was wondering what type of shark it is? I would have thought cretalamna appendiculata, but it has bourlette, and I don’t know any shark teeth in the navesink formation that have bourlette. It is about 3/5 of an inch. @The Jersey Devil @Trevor @Darktooth. TIA

To my eye it looks like a Archaeolamna kopingengus. I am not sure that it has a real bourette. Can you take a good clear close-up pic?

It is a Cretalamna. Many shark teeth have a bourlette. Megs just have a much more exaggerated one.

Ok thank you!!! That was what I was guessing but I wasn’t sure so I wanted to ask.
