Fossildude19 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Looks like a really beat up Megalodon, to me. 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Carl Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'm thinking it might be slightly pathologic, whatever it is: it appears to have a low knob on each of the cutting edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthemoose Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) I think it’s a great white (Carcharodon carcharias). There are worn serrations so it’s not C. hastalis or a mako. Edited December 7, 2021 by bthemoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
