jgheels2003 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 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!!!!

Miocene_Mason Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 The ones that look like these are hemipristis, aka snaggletooth “...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...

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

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.... “...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...
Harry Pristis Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 No, it's not Hemipristis. Do a search of TFF for Hemipristis images. 2 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Yeah, as everyone has mentioned that one is not a Hemi but a Carcharhinus sp. Grey, Dusky, Silky or Bull shark etc .... Cheers, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size ruled out hammerhead, it is too big for that species. PS Just noticed the one next to it looks like a megalodon. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

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. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
