bthemoose Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi Chris, that’s actually a crow shark tooth—looks like Squalicorax pristodontus. Nice find! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's a made up name involving the genus. Squalus = shark and corax = Crow. Lots of Cretaceous Peedee Formation very close to the surface or even exposed in the Myrtle Beach area. Squalicorax went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
