That is just sick!  Those are your "B" grade specimens?

@HoppeHunting if you like cretacious shark teeth, make a trip up to Big Brook, or Ramenessin Brook in NJ. Maybe you’ve heard of the two already. It’s far from where you are, but well worth the trip for at least a one time experience (especially for the shark teeth). You’ll leave with some cool finds.

I know why they are in there, they are awesome Ginsu shark teeth! I don’t see any that I would not be very happy to have found.

I am new here but I saw this post and could not resist. The Ginsu is one of my favorite sharks and this is my only tooth. There are some beautiful teeth in this thread and very impressive collections.

Here's my only two Ginsu teeth I've got, which are from the Ryazan Oblast in Russia.

I got these teeth a few days ago from @DatFossilBoy :)

Not the prettiest Ginsu tooth out there. It is beat up and weathered but it is a big one at 1.85".

Not all of our teeth are small lol The two largest are both 2” and both came from the Smoky Hill Chalk, Niobrara Formation Kansas.

The ginsu is among my favorites, the only position I'm really missing is a posterior:
