I don't usually pay much attention to the shark teeth I find but this little guy caught my eye for some reason. Anyone know what kind of shark it's from? Thanks!  -Frank

Cool tooth Frank. I have never seen a tooth with that shape and appearance.  Nice find!

You never usually pay much attention to shark teeth you find while for most of us they would be a significant highlight!

Always something new, or at least different, in those brooks. Nice "odd" tooth.
