Amarykah Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Can anyone tell me what type of shark this came from? I found it in Caspersen, FL. It’s 3/4in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Carcharhinus...maybe bull or dusky (I don't usually try to differentiate).

hemipristis Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 It's not flat enough, and the serrations not fine enough, for it to be a C. plumbeus (sandbar shark), and the root is all wrong for C. perezii (Caribbean Reef), C. falciformis (silky) or C. brachyurus (Copper). Also, too large for a copper. This leaves a bull or dusky. Unfortunately, the indicators that I use to distinguish one from another are worn away on the specimen. 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

webmasterj Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Agreed looks like a bull or dusky, the damage to it makes it tough to differentiate. Not uncommon for fossil shark teeth to be found broken. Dark Water Megs www.DarkWaterMegs.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
