Guest RJ32 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) I found this claw while sifting gravels looking for shark teeth in a small creek. Does anybody have any ideas on what this might be? It was found in North Carolina. Edited August 21, 2020 by RJ32 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilsandScience Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It looks like a shark tooth to me as well. I'm not sure about the species though. Still a pretty cool find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 The striations seem to continue down onto the root so I'm guessing it is a Scapanorhynchus (Goblin Shark) tooth. Ah, Al Dente beat me to the punch by seconds. Cheers. -Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
