Shark tooth or imposter


Kbsib

Recommended Posts

This fossil was found today during low tide. It is longer than most shark’s teeth we’ve been finding. Measures approximately 4.75cm x 2cm. I’ve picked up A LOT of oyster shells, pieces of phosphate and rocks thinking they were teeth. This may well be the same thing. It’s the only way I’m going to learn so I appreciate any help in identifying. Thanks!

This looks like a piece of a shark tooth, to me.

Too worn for ID, I think. I don't know the age of fossils from Pawley's Island, SC.
