meg123 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I found this tooth a pretty long time ago down near matoaka cottages and i still dont know what it is. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharks of SC Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 The photo is a little unclear, but it has the right shape for a thresher - perhaps Alopias latidens or Alopias hermani... CBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharks of SC Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 It might even be a little meg - I might be imagining a little bourlette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg123 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Is it serrated? Yes it is serrated and it is about a inch long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yes it is serrated and it is about a inch long. I think closer and clearer photos are going to be needed to have anything better than educated guesses on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg123 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 This is the best i can do. The tooth does have very worn serrations if they are not visible in the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmorefossil Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 even from the first pics i could tell it was a juvi. meg some may call it hubble but it doesnt have the heart shape to it, still a rare find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
