I am visiting my parents on the gulf coast & decided to go to the beach to find some shark teeth. The nearby beach is famous for shark teeth, Manisota Beach, & we found over 100 in just a couple hours. However we also found the below tooth & I was wondering what it is from. It is over 1/2" long & about 3/8" in diameter. Any ideas what this could be?

Somewhat 'gator-ish, me thinks.

Hi,

I think it could be a sharp tooth (I don't know the english word) of a sparidae (fish as the sea bream).

I have to agree with Auspex and jpc on this one. Definitely looks crocodilian.

I am thinking Croc as well. It would help to see the wear pattern on the top.
