Big Brook , NJ - Shark Fragment tooth. Serrated on both side of triangle. No defined curvature. 

Pulled many teeth from the brook for some reason having issue identifying this one.

Tim is right, it is a Squalicorax, the only Shark with serrated teeth from the Cretaceous.

Appreciate I have hundreds of Squalicorax, this one through me because of the triangular appearance.

It gives the impression of being more of a symmetrical triangle because of how it is broken., It's less than half of a much larger tooth.
