FunkyMonkey Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hi. i have found hundreds of sand shark teeth, several Mackerel Shark teeth and one Meg contender From this site but this very worn tooth does not seem to be similar enough to match my existing specimens. Can anyone help? it was found among the shingle to the north of the Naze towards Stone Point on the beach at Walton on the Naze, Essex, UK Apologies for the poor scale for non U.K. residents. The coin is approximately 2.3cm. The tooth Is fairly worn, thin and flat. Thanks in advance and if it’s too worn for an ID, no worries. It’s just nice to find something different! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Honestly, it is too worn to say for certain, but it has the basic shape of a Mako. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonkey Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 @Darktooth Thank you! If it is Mako that would be rare for this site so I’m taking that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrehistoricWonders Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Are you sure it’s a tooth? Does have the basic shape of a hastalis, so that would be my guess if it is a tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
