Shark Teeth ID

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Just finished up a vacation in North Myrtle Beach, SC.  Each of these three teeth were found in the ocean swash upon crushed up shells. Can anyone identify any of the three? 
 

The last one (I did post in a separate thread, but figured I include it again) is just the tip (which looks pretty large to me as it’s almost as big as a dime - attached multiple photos). Really can’t determine what this might be? Looks very old and worn.

First is a lower anterior (?) great white (Carcharodon carcharias). Second is a requiem shark (upper), I would guess bull (Carcharhinus leucas). The third doesn't have enough features for accurate identification. Nice finds.
