Hi, I found this nice shark tooth at the Ernst Quarries in the Slow Curve. Not really sure about the identification, but it looks like a mako to me. The tooth is 2 inches long.

 

Thanks.

Looks like a C. hastalis, formerly known as a mako shark, but now a white shark. The colors on the teeth out there is really beautiful :dinothumb:

I agree with Carcharodon Hastalis.
