LizzyBee Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I was wondering if this is a real shark's tooth. It could be fossilized, but it feels so rock-like, I wonder if it could be an old carving. My grandmother gave this to me years ago. I remember her saying she found it on a beach and I'm assuming Myrtle Beach, SC since she rarely left the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Welcome to the forum. What size is it and can we see a side picture want to see how thick it is. The ribbing on the first picture is not a shark feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I am not so sure it is a tooth. I dont really see any enamel, but the pictures are not in great focus when enlarged. I think it is a piece of bone in a tooth shape.

caldigger Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 A close up of the first picture looks like it has bone like cell structure. I would say a worn bone chip. Only suggestively shaped like a shark tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
