Kris D Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Found this yesterday at Brownie Beach, Maryland. I know it's from a Cow Shark, but I'm not sure about the specific kind. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris D Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hi, Tony. It's tiny -- 1/2 inch long. I had never seen anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris D Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Troodon, Thank you very much. I was really excited to find it. I had no idea what it was until I started Googling on my way back home. We found a lot of teeth yesterday, but none compares to this one. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a nice bunch of people you are!! In my experience cow shark teeth are not all that common. To find a symphyseal tooth is extra special.
