Shark teeth - GW & Meg?

Recommended Posts

Welcome to TFF,

You first photos are Mako because no serrations -- GWs have serrations.  The other is a Meg.

Nice finds,, If the location has fragments this size, go back and find the whole ones.. :fistbump:

  • I found this Informative 2

The White Queen  ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast"

I am stoked on the Meg!!!! Was high on my bucket list!

 

Regarding the first tooth (the smaller one) - I previously found one that is almost identical that still had signs of serrations (under a magnifying glass).

 

Could it be that the serrations are worn off? If so, does it make it a GW?

Well,

They are different edges: Teeth from the 2 sharks have similarities and differences.  You might have a very worn tooth OR your tooth may have regressive traits.
