Hello everyone! It is me again and I would like to request a little more help with shark tooth ID. I found this tooth in the Calvert cliffs area. Also, it has rather fine serrations if this helps. Thanks for the help!

Looks like a small Carcharhinus sp, but I might be wrong.

  • I found this Informative 1

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

I think it is a Physogaleus contortus.

I think you are 100% right. Thank you for the help! I’m still trying to figure out teeth positions.
