Just in case you did not read my recent post... Hope everyone is doing well.  I miss being in a creek or on the beach, but all in due time.  Every night I have been relaxing going through different types of matrix.  Last week, in addition to looking through Bakerfield matrix, I also looked through Pungo Formation matrix from Lee Creek.  I believe the these are three shark teeth are whale or basking shark teeth.  All measurements are in MM.  Any feedback (as always) is much appreciated!!

 

1. Basking shark tooth with the root!! If I am right...  wow!  If I am wrong..  nothing new and any expertise is much appreciated!!

3.  100% My favorite shark when I was a kid and my daughter thinks I am a superhero because I have a whale shark tooth

Thank you for any feedback and looking at my teeth!

#3 is definitely a whale shark in my opinion. #1 I think is a very worn whale shark, but not pathological. #2 I think is a symphyseal Carcharhinus sp. But I will let others chime in on that one.

Thanks for the feedback!  Would have been cool if it was just micro tooth with a root.

There seems to be a lot of these type teeth in this type of matrix.
