Shark Teeth ID

Recommended Posts

Friend of mine gifted me some shark teeth. He's not a fossil hunter, nor that much into fossils; they were given to him. I know they're from the United States, but beyond that I don't have a locality.

 

This one is 3/4". My first instinct here is to say Lemon, but the base of the blade along the root is serrated. Bronze Whaler?

Three looks like a juvenile posterior megalodon, angustidens, or Chubutensis... the first picture looks like a lemon, other two look like dusky shark teeth.

Thank you, Megalodon or ancestor didn't occur to me for 3 haha. It appears to have cusps, and pretty prominent ones. Maybe Angustidens.

To me they don’t quite look prominent enough to be angustidens, here’s an angy that looks to be similar size to the one in the picture(sorry for the bad picture, it’s in a case and I like the setup, lol)
