Snaggle_tooth Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hi all, I recently went on a trip to Brownie's Beach in Maryland in search of Hemies, and I came home with some pretty good little teeth and a few decent sized ones. However, there was one tooth that I found I could not identify. I am not really sure what shark it belongs to, it sort of resembles a sand tiger but the root is very robust and thick. Im more or less lost as to what it could be. Wishful thinking, but I thought it might be a baby megatooth shark or a mako or something along the lines of that. Its a long shot, but I thouht i would ask to see if anyone else could Identify it, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 It’s out of focus. It might be a posterior hastalis tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure but I think otudus were earlier than this so @Al Dente is most likely right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I agree with Al Dente, looks like a postiteor C.hastalis. Take a look at this thread. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

powelli1 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Sorry NOT an Otodus wrong age and I also think it is a lower Mako tooth but can you give us a close up of the tooth that will help a lot. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
