Shark tooth, fish jaw

Recommended Posts

Sorting through material from 4 weeks back. I have never found any Meg fragments at this location. I have found  Isurus oxyrinchus,  along with other Makos and Great Whites. This one is 11 mm

And then ... this 29 mm fish jaw.  I find alveoli  placement rather odd. Does anyone know of any similar fish jaw?  Thanks Jack

Appears too be some sort of Thresher shark tooth, nice find! Not common at all

Hi Jack,

 

You might consider one of the pharyngeal jaws from a drum fish. (Sciaenops sp.)

 

 

For comparison.

Thanks to both of you.  I love TFF,  I put up photos that I think may be very difficult to identify and different members come thru in the clutch!!! Thanks for the experience and expertise.   Jack
