Hugo Tran Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Found these hunting for teeth along a beach in Venice FL. They are kind of small, but I thought that could maybe be prosterior teeth? Any opinion is appreciated. Thanks! -HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbshark Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I would guess they're not but they are heavily worn Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 They could be, but for teeth of that size and shape, a more likely shark IMO would be a requiem shark tooth from the genus Carcharhinus. 1 If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Hugo Tran Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Okay cool. Thanks for the help both of you! -HT added: Just a newbie question here-I thought that only certain teeth (like a megaldon) would have the bourlette? Is that correct, or can any tooth have bourlette?
