Florida Shark Teeth

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I have here three shark teeth that were given to me by a friend from Florida. That's where they were found, but I have no locations more specific than that. I'm pretty sure the second and third are Megalodon, but believe the first one is Carcharodon Carcharias. 

 

I would appreciate confirmation.

Great Whites have no "bourlette", which is the indentation between root and enamel:

See the absense of a bourlette on this GW (right image)

Thank you! I got confused because I couldn't see a bourlette. But I do see the outline of one now - it just seems to blend in with the root.
