Found several Great White shark teeth in the creek last weekend along with a few makos. .

My best find was this Great White (2-1/2") below. It has all serrations and a complete root.  Also, found one partial whale inner ear bone (periotic) and one small croc tooth.

The creek was really running high and fast the day before. due to rain on Friday.

I think your Great White is a Meg.

Sorry, I don’t usually disagree with you, but I don’t see bourlette, the root texture, and the overall shape suggest GW to me, I closer picture of the front of the tooth would help a lot.

@Fossildude19 Which tooth are you talking about?

[PungoJoe]

Tim,

Thanks for your suggestion that my tooth is a meg.    I'm open to your suggestion.  The picture I provided isn't the best for identification. 

This tooth doesn't have a bourlette.   The serrations are definitely irregular.  Possibly, there are no obvious split serrations because they

are quite worn.  See attached pictures of the serrations.  Please let me know if your opinion is the same.

I’m also not seeing a bourlett

@Fossildude19 definitely a gw the root profile and nutrient grove matches and there is no bourlette and the tooth is a lot flatter

Thanks for setting me straight, guys.   

Shouldn't trust my old eyes on the phone.  

But I learned something new today! Bonus.
