Kat Steele Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I found this shark tooth in a shell pit near Orlando Florida. Was hoping someone could help identify it, and possibly an estimated age. This is my first large and perfectly intact tooth, so I'm pretty excited to find out what it belonged too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhysicist Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Welcome to the forum! Really nice lower anterior GW!

Meatasaurus93 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 That is none other than Carcharodon carcharias aka Great White. Great find! What does it measure along the slant of the tooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
