Eocene Tooth?

Recommended Posts

This was found in Washington State around the Seattle Area.
This formation has been dated at 40 million years old and considered Near Shore sediments. 

I have found a fish tooth and a shark tooth in this same spot, however the tooth I found today seems to have traits of both. It also has more detail so I hope that could help in identification.

The tooth is about half an inch long or 1.27 centimeters long. or 12 MM
It takes on a blueish hue and has no serrations. I can upload more pictures but request if anyone wants to see another angle or different lighting.

Here is the first fish tooth I found as well. But I am not convinced they are from the same species

Might be a worn sandtiger with the root broken off.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

I agree with Darktooth, looks like the worn blade of a Sand Tiger tooth.

Exactly my suspicion. Thanks both of you. However, is the other piece still a fish tooth?
