Steve2dm Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Found this at low tide at North Topsail Beach, NC, USA and am wondering the source. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Looks like it could have been a meg or great white shark tooth at one point. Extremely worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellamyBlake Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I concur. It could be either really. It's hard to tell which without the bourlette, roots, or serrations, characteristics which are missing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Just based on size and thickness, What large teeth are found at Topsoil beach, NC ??? https://www.century21topsail.com/post/hunting-for-shark-teeth-and-other-beach-treasures-on-topsail-island/ Looks like Great Whites, Makos, Megalodon family (Megs, Chubs, Rics, Angys) are the sharks that could create your fossil. Impossible to determine which one. Go back and find more, not so worn.

Steve2dm Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Thanks, everyone! I had my suspicions, but am glad you all responded back. We found over 250 shark teeth (from a variety of species it looks like) within a 3-day time-frame in North Carolina. It was fantastic. Can't wait to go find more!
