ParkExplorer Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Can anyone ID this fossilized partial shark tooth for me? It was found in Myrtle Beach, SC. I’m usually pretty good at identifying them; however, this is just the tip as the rest of the tooth and the root is gone. The serrated edges (if any) look really worn out too - so this thing is old! Looks like it would’ve been a decent size too. I took a photo from above too as the tooth also looks thick.

sixgill pete Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 It is the tip of a shark tooth. Any other I.D. would be pure speculation. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkExplorer Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 This tooth was found today in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I assume you can’t identify without the root? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 a good sharp close up might produce a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkExplorer Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Anyone have any ideas on this? I know it might be hard though since there's not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdp Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Are we sure this is shark and not, for example, barracuda? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
