Retigg Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Hi all, new to the forum! I have a few sharks teeth to identify for my daughter, if anyone can help? We met a lovely gent on Bawdsey beach, Suffolk who gave us a mini lesson and said the 2 we had found at the time were sand tiger shark teeth and one was about 4 million years old (I think that was the big one). I’m not actually sure if No1 is a tooth? We are total beginners so not clued up on the time period names or classifications so if anyone can explain what we’re looking at in terms for a 6 year old that would be amazing!

Meganeura Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 It appears Bawdsey Beach is Plesitocene and Pliocene mainly - so you're looking at up to 5million years old. The far left tooth does appear to just be a broken shark's tooth. The teeth themselves look to be from sand tigers, but it's hard to say for certain due to the breakage/lack of roots. 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
