indominus rex Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I am just wondering, does this look like a broken shark tooth or is it possibly a reptile tooth? I have unfortunately no information on it. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I would lean against it being a shark tooth but not sure what it is. The cavity below the crown does not appear correct for shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Try taking pictures without hands so everyone can get a better look at the tooth. Closer images might also help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I agree with Al Dente, a Physogaleus crown. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
