Shark Tooth From Rattlesnake Creek...

Hey All,

Here is a recent find from some micro matrix out of Rattlesnake creek.

Is this a split file or something else?

Thanks for any opinions.

That's a very nice one. My first thought was a pathological hammerhead too....But sharks aren't really my thing.

And congrats on your 1000th post, Troodon!

That's a nice find, Tony! I've never found one like that. Rattlesnake Creek sure has some nice surprises. :)

Hey-hi Y'All,

Nice find. :yay-smiley-1:

Thanks

Nice split tip tooth.

Thanks

Looks pathological, hammerhead?

I think it is too symmetrical for a pathologic. Could be a hammerhead. Thanks

Thanks. I still find it hard to say pathologic for such good symmetry. I do not know shark teeth either, but I am trying to get knowledge on the subject.

That's a nice find, Tony! I've never found one like that. Rattlesnake Creek sure has some nice surprises. :)

Thanks, and I agree with Your assessment of the things in this matrix! Keep looking and hopefully one will show itself to You.

Very nice Tony! :fistbump:

Thanks

There are two votes for a pathologic , but as stated above I see to much symmetry in this tooth for that. Are there any more opinions on this?

Thank Y'All again!!!

Tony

Nice tooth! I haven't seen anything like that from Rattlesnake Creek either.

Thanks, it is a cool singular find for Me as it is the only one I have seen.

Hey hi everyone,

Just wanted to kick this post to the top of the list to see if I can get some more opinions as to whether it is a pathologic or a split file.

What do You think?

Thanks

I think file splitting only happens in skates and rays where as they grow they increase the number of teeth in their mouths. Sharks tend to have a set number of teeth along the length of their jaws. Their teeth increase in size as their jaws grow.
