Fin Lover Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 No, sorry, not a shark tooth. Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Welcome to the forum. Man, that absolutely has the shape of a shark's tooth; no doubt. But alas, it is not a tooth. While the shape is spot-on, the material is all wrong. Fossilized teeth maintain the enamel on the tooth. This curiously shaped rock has no enamel nor other features of a tooth (e.g., distinction between the root material and the tooth material). But, I would have picked it up for a second look when I would have seen that shape. In fact, having picked it up, I might even add it to my collection of great look-alikes, but-nots. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
