Amarykah Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Is there anything special about either of these two teeth? They seem different - thought they might have deformities. Peace river, FL. Mako and ?? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meganeura Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 One's a C. Hastalis lower, and the other is a tiger shark - a very posterior tooth. 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Yup. The tiger shark tooth is an older Miocene species called Physogaleus contortus. Image searches for this name will turn up lots more information on this species. Cheers. -Ken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not find many Makos , ratio of 20 upper teeth to each lower. Lower Mako teeth are rare. The Tiger seems a little pathological in the root formation.
