AustinAmber Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hello, Yesterday during a day trip to McKinney Falls State Park, I found what looks to be some kind of fossilized tooth next to the Lower Falls swimming area. Would love to get an idea of what kind of fossil this could be! Amber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Welcome to TFF! The tooth is a shark tooth, most likely a sand tiger. Others will give a better id. nice find!

Fossildude19 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think that it is actually a Scapanorhynchus texanus goblin shark tooth. Neat find.
