Hi everyone, I found this tooth in some micro matrix I received from a friend. It is from a Cretaceous site in southeastern N.C., Cretaceous Black Creek Group; Campanian Not sure if it is Tarheel, Bladen or Donoho Creek Formation. The site is known for marine and land finds. I just dont see shark in this tooth. I cannot really say why, but could be wrong. So here it is, help.

 

It measures in at a whopping 4 1/2 mm wide and about 4 mm long.

Kind of reminds me of a worn cookiecutter shark tooth. The teeth on right of this photo look similar.

I think it is a posterior shark tooth, don't know which species. There is a lot of erosion of the root.

If it's from me keep in mind that there's Tarheel, Bladen and some Raysor in that lag. Looks cretaceous to me though. the weird bend is throwing me off.
