Jim K Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 OK. I'll try one more (for now, I have more) from Charlotte Co. FL. This time I'll go with a small shark tooth which is actually in good condition. I really like the colors on this one but I'm not sure of the species. I'm sure it's something common. Thanks.

Macrophyseter Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm pretty sure that it's Carcharhinus tooth, maybe grey shark? (It's very difficult, sometimes near-impossible to identify which Carcharhinus species an individual tooth comes from due to such almost-identical similarities for most species, plus there are so many of them within the genus. My guess for grey shark is probably wrong, and you should label this as Carcharhinus sp. for now, of course unless I screwed up even harder and that it's actually not a Carcharhinus tooth.) If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I am OK with Macrophyseter, recent Carcharhinus genus has more than 30 different species. Your tooth is Carcharhinus sp.
