Peace river rat Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Got this shark tooth on the peace river. It has no serrations. It is two inches long even with the tip broke. Thoughts? Also included are other pics for ID. The big bone appears to be a bison phalanx ? The vertebrate is possibly a crocodilian? The small toe or foot bone, I speculate, may be from a bear or cat? I hope. Sorry for some of the cropped pics, I wont have access to a camera again for a couple days. If needed, I can post more in a couple days. Thanks for any input. Sorry, but I could only get these pics to resize and load. Still trying to figure out something I am completely new at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The tooth is a Carcharodon hastalis formerly known as a mako but now is classified as a white shark. Can not help with the others. It would be better to add larger pictures to an additional post on the thread than to put up a picture as small as the last two-- can not see what they are.

Darktooth Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Shame the mako is broke, but at least you are finding some stuff. The bone is a pretty cool find! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
