A couple shark teeth from Charleston, SC

Recommended Posts

I'm new here, hi! I've got a few teeth from around Charleston, SC that I'm unsure about.

 

These I'm pretty sure are Angustidens, but I just wanted to make sure.

These are not very good quality pictures, but it's the best I've got (father sent them to me). Some kind of whaler species?

My guess for this is Great White, but it's very narrow so I wasn't sure.

Thanks for the help!

The first is Angustidens, the second is also angustidens, and the third is Carcharhinus.

First two are Carcharocles, not sure between angu or chub though. The third probably is a rather peculiar reqiuem shark tooth Carcharhinus sp.

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Thanks, no reason to be sorry.

I agree with Macrophyseter on IDs.
