Sharks teeth ID

Recommended Posts

Just got back from a week with the family at Oak Island, NC and wanted to post some of the teeth I found. I was hoping to get some IDs from the resident experts! I'm fairly certain of the sand tiger, tiger, and some of the bull shark/dusky shark? teeth. Any labels would be greatly appreciated!!!!

The ones that look like these are hemipristis, aka snaggletooth

You have some tiger shark mixed in with your hemis.

Oops, sorry. I just grabbed a picture off of google images that had a variety of hemipristis, I probably should have looked closer.

Other than in that picture I see no snaggle tooth in any of the other pictured.

Is this one not a hemi? Sorry I'm bad at sharks teeth, in fact I have a whole gallery of shark teeth I can't identify. I had prided myself of a least knowing snaggleteeth, but I guess not....

Yeah, as everyone has mentioned that one is not a Hemi but a Carcharhinus sp. Grey, Dusky, Silky or Bull shark etc ....

Thanks Tony, I forgot to point that out as well when I responded.

First off welcome to the forum from New York! Sorry I guess we got side tracked from your question. I think you got your ids correct but you have a couplt lemon shark teeth as well I think.The smaller dark ones that look like the letter "T".

Looks like a C. hastalis to Me.

Thanks! You know I didn't even bother to notice the semi worn serrations, that would have ruled out a Hammerhead I guess

If it is serrated then it is not a C. hastalis, but it is a descendant of it called Carcharodon sp - Great White shark.

Size ruled out hammerhead, it is too big for that species.

 

PS Just noticed the one next to it looks like a megalodon.

Youre right it really does.I didn't want to automatically presume it was a really small meg, or maybe a really straight looking Bull shark tooth, but I would defer more to your judgement!!

Take pictures from front back and side and repost it in a new thread to see what the others here think.

I am a bit weak with fossil ids.
