Mikekeus Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hey everyone, I was hoping I could get your help in identifying what I think is a shark tooth? Embarrassingly enough it could just be a shell, but it looks an awful lot like a tooth to me. It's about 2" in length, if that helps, and I found it on the beach in Brackley, PEI. If it's a shark tooth, what shark does it belong to? And if it's not, what is it? If you have any ideas, I would love to know! It's really for curiosity's sake. Thank you!

Miocene_Mason Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Thats a shell, looks like a Gastropod or crustacean, because of the spirals. 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyg Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Quite possibly it is the worn and broken hinge section of one valve of an eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica). G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikekeus Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Thanks for your help! I knew there was a good possibility it was just a shell, so I appreciate the clarification! Edited June 9, 2017 by Mikekeus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
