BuddingPaleo Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) I found this tooth with shells from the Plio Pleistocene, I'd imagine that it'd be from the same time frame? I'm awful at shark teeth, any help is immensely appreciated. (I forgot to put Fl.) Edited July 1, 2018 by BuddingPaleo Forgot local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Maybe something in the realm of Bull or Dusky? I'm rubbish on the small eastern teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe bull, but any pictures I find I can't see enough detail in to really tell. My brain is rubbish today, apologies, ...thank you!

sixgill pete Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 This is not a Bull or Dusky shark tooth. I believe it is a Carcharhinus brachyurus; Copper Shark.

Bronzviking Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I recommend this paperback book I bought in a Venice gift shop. Very informative with great color photos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzviking Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Very Nice tooth BTW!These fossilized shark's teeth were shed by sharks that lived about 2-35 million years ago. Did you know sharks have 5 to 6 rows of teeth with about 300 teeth is their mouth? Through the course of their life they shed approximately 24,000 teeth. That's a lot of teeth!
