BallinShark Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 This tooth was found in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It measures to about 1.5 inches. The shape of the tooth was interesting and unlike what I had seen previously, so I asked around and was told it was most likely a tooth from a Megalodon, however I remained skeptical due to its size. I would like to know what animal this tooth came from. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I agree with great white because of the shape and the serrations. But dont discount a tooth being a meg just because it is not huge.

Macrophyseter Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I also agree with great white, as the serrations appear to be quite irregular and large, especially at certain points. The tooth itself also doesn't seem robust enough. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

PaleoNoel Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I agree with GW, that's what I'm getting from overall appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramon Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 +1 for great white, due to its size and very triangular shape.
