What type of Shark Tooth?

Recommended Posts

Here is a shark tooth I believe I found in peace river (fl) although I don’t really remember. It is about a .8 inch tooth. The reason I’m not sure the type of shark this is is because of its thickness. It reminds me of a bull shark but has an odd shape and is thicker than most teeth I find. Anyone know if this is a bull shark or something else?

I would say posterior megalodon - very cool find.

Yes, posterior Meg.  Unfortunately, water erosion over time can come very close to destroying a fossil.  It is the fat root that eliminates almost everything except Megalodon.

Wow that is very cool. I knew the posterior ones existed, I just had never seen one. It seems the only megs I can find are miniscule :DOH:
