Hammerhead tooth?

Recommended Posts

I decided to go through my Carcharhinus teeth, since I have no hammerhead teeth. What do you think about the one on the left?

Yes, hammerhead (Sphyrna sp)

 

Side note: I see you are from Maryland.  Brownie's Beach is a great spot to find hammerhead (multiple species) and thresher (both A. vulpinus and A superciliosus) teeth..

Thanks, these may have come from there. I hunted a couple times there. I think I found some more hiding among my Tiger shark teeth. 1 and 4 same tooth. 2 and 3 same tooth.

affirmative!

 

Hammerheads are amongst  favorite teeth to find.  I've never found a great hammerhead tooth, (Sphyrna mokarran), but I have traded for a few from Florida, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
