I've found a fossil in a middle Triassic formation that a friend of mine suggested that It's a shark tooth but I couldn't find anything similar. Maybe some of you can help me with the ID? It's 7mm long. It's pretty flat and if it is indeed a shark tooth I think that the root is missing. Thank you!

Nadav, I would say no on being a shark tooth. Hopefully, someone else can ID it for you.

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

Could be a fish scale.

Petolodus shark?

Not likely since Petalodus isn't known from the Triassic.
