Frank Menser Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Ok shark people. I found this at the pond (East NC). Have to say I have never found one that looks quite like this with that high thick root. Probably an easy ID for ya'll but a bit of a stumper for me. The pics just don't do this one justice.

CreekCrawler Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I lent my shark book out ,but it resembles an Otodus.It's nice that you found a tooth in that good of shape.That pond is a Honey Hole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoRon Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Beautiful tooth. It looks like it might be an anterior Archaeolamna kopingensis (Cretodus arcuatus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I don't really know anything about shark teeth but that thing looks like it could do some serious damage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serack Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Not much to add to the ID, since I have never seen one before, although it looks like the Archaeolamna found in NC on Elasmo. However, I did want to add that it is a beautiful tooth. Reminds me of how much I like my 2 thresher teeth. Tiny, with immaculate enamel. Unfortunately, I don't handle them any more since one disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
