Fisher1 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I found what appears to be a fossilized tooth on the shore of the Tidal Potomac River in MD. Could you help with the identification? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Welcome to TFF! Looks like a rostral tooth of a saw shark. Pictures of the ends and other side may change this opinion.

Fossildude19 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hello, and Welcome to the Forum. A few pictures of the other sides, and back, top and bottom would be helpful. Right now, with the one picture, It looks like a sawfish rostral tooth (spine) to me. Is the base squared/rectangular?
