MattJohnson22 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Good Afternoon, On Easter Sunday as I was putting my boat into the trailer in Newport Beach, CA (Back Bay), my son was playing in the mud near the launch ramp and came across this tooth in the muck around a few rocks. I was hoping someone might be able to help me identify this shark tooth. Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Collectors have found fossils around Newport Beach before. A friend once found a pinniped bone and I think I have a great white from the area. Keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
