Amarykah Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Can anyone tell me what type of shark this came from? I found it in Caspersen, FL. It’s 3/4in. Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Lover Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Carcharhinus...maybe bull or dusky (I don't usually try to differentiate). Edited January 14 by Fin Lover Added space between text and picture 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
hemipristis Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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 1 Link to post Share on other sites
webmasterj Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 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. Link to post Share on other sites
