Symphyseal shark tooth?


Fin Lover

Recommended Posts

Found a new spot (new to me, but I'm sure many others know about it) Saturday where I found quite a few hemis, including my largest one to date, and one with very interesting colors. I also found the attached tooth, which I'm guessing is a symphyseal tooth (pathological maybe), but I don't have anything else like it. Is that indeed what it is and, if so, is it possible to tell what type of shark it is (genus)?  Found near the Summerville/Goose Creek area.  Thank you for the help!

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

I agree. I don't think you will be able to identify the species it comes from.

I'm jealous, Symphyseal teeth are so cool and yet so rare to find!

Fossils? I dig it. :meg:
