fossilhunter21 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone! just thought I would ask my friends on TFF if they think this is a partial meg tooth, I think it looks like one but I just want to be sure. Thanks in advance! -@fossilhunter21 Edited December 22, 2021 by fossilhunter21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelivingdead531 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Maybe? I see the indicators of a meg, but I’m a little confused about the crown of the tooth…it almost looks like a cusp (it almost looks like worn serrations going almost all the way around). Maybe it’s my eyes playing tricks on me though. Sorry, I’m sure that’s not much help. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil_Adult Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Depending on where it was found, it may be a megalodon, or an older ancestor like a chub or angustiden depending where it was found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 My money says its a cusp of a mega-toothed shark that pre-dated megalodon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilhunter21 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks for the responses, @thelivingdead531, @Fossildude19, @Fossil_teenager, and, @Troodon! It looks like it has to be a Carcharodon subariculatus tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
