Northern Sharks Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I don't see a bourlette on the tooth, so I gotta say it's a Great White. Those are MUCH tougher to find in FL than megalodons. Nice looking tooth 1 There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bmorefossil Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 i would say with out a doubt a great white, no bourlette, the big serrations and the mako looking root. can you post some larger pictures of the other thing so i may see what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Can't tell about the bone/pet wood. When you edit your pics, try it at about 850 wide; it will give us more to work with .

Cody Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sort of looks petrified wood but usually wood has crack lines through it.Although im strongly leaning towards ROCK.

Maryland Mike Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 It's a little hard to tell from your photos, but most of the petrified wood I've seen or found shows the end grain as well as the part you are looking at that appears to be wood grain. On yours I really don't see what I would call end grain, so I think, rock. If you can post better quality photos maybe we could make a better determination.
