Gatorman Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I would say bull shark its definitely of the genus Carcharhinus most likely Carcharhinus leucas. Possibly Carcharhinus obscurus or Dusky shark, it's a decent tooth the serrations appear sharp but the root is pretty worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 What about this one? Thanks- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Bull really worn. Serrations are gone tip is gone but you can see that the root is in better shape and leads me to say this one is a Bull rather than Dusky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm trying to become a pro, but I have a long ways to go. Here is some more shark teeth. What do you think they are? They are from Venice Beach, FL. Thanks- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 L-R: Looks like a Lemon shark, middle is possibly a lower Mako with a badly damaged root and no tip, some Carcharinus, also with a somewhat damaged root 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...
jbstedman Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 The apex of the crown of the first tooth appears smooth. If the shoulders are serrated that would certainly support Northern Sharks' suggestion that it's a Lemon. If there is any evidence of serrations over the whole crown, that would drop the Lemon and, in my opinion, open up the possibility of a Bull or Dusky lower. Besides fossils, I collect roadcuts, Stream beds, Winter beaches: Places of pilgrimage. Jasper Burns, Fossil Dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
