Large shark tooth

Recommended Posts

Found this large tooth in Big Brook today. Is it just a very large goblin shark?

If so she was a big one! Shame it’s not a full tooth.

Also attached is a side by side comparison to the normal size I find.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

 I have one almost as big as yours but I’ve never had one this wide(3 CM).

I think the comparison tooth is Paranomotodon not Scapanorhynchus. 

So do you think the large tooth is Scapanorhynchus?

+1 for Scapanorhynchus sp.  Lower lateral?
