sharko69 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Found this small tooth on a recent trip to California. My guess is great white but it so similar to C. hastilis but with serrations. Could this be transitional tooth or is this Great White? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It looks like a Carcharodon carcharias. - https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&biw=1366&bih=730&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=8NGdW9SDFKms0gLZvpW4Dw&q=carcharodon+carcharias+Teeth&oq=carcharodon+carcharias+Teeth&gs_l=img.3..0.1678.4935..6326...0.0..0.714.4069.5-5j1......1....1..gws-wiz-img.......0i30j0i5i30j0i8i30j0i24.pM1_OHfzLns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Yes a GW. Now where exactly (PM the coordinates please) did you find this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoRon Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Nice find! I like light colored teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I agree with GW. After all, the Miocene examples are essentially the same thing as C. hastalis but with full serrations. 1 If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

The Jersey Devil Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The serrations are ragged and irregular because it is a juvenile, but it is a great white. 1 “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. That was the first GW I have ever found. Did find a second much larger which I will post in trips later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
