TonyC Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hello, I posted some photos in a different area and was directed to use this group for IDing fossils. Here are several photos of 3 teeth from Folly Island (SC) that I picked up this weekend. I believe that 2 of the 3 are Bull Shark teeth...but which ones? And what is the other shark represented here? The serrations on the tooth on the left in the 1st photo are more pronounced than the other two. But the root / root lobe of the 3rd tooth differs from the other two. I hope the photos are sufficiently detailed. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazfossilator Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Top photo far left looks like a great white tooth to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Agree with great white. The other 2 are bull/dusky shark. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

sixgill pete Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 In the top photo the tooth on the left is a small great white. A nice one too. The other 2 teeth could be Carcharhinus leucas or Carcharhinus obscurus. (Bull or Dusky shark) or possibly another Carcharhinus species. Teeth from this family are so similar among many of the species. But I personally would lean towards C. obscurus, Dusky shark.
