North Carolina Tooth ID

Recommended Posts

My dad's friend found this in North Carolina recently, and he needs some help identifying it.  I'm pretty sure it's not a Meg, but it might be a Dusky or a Mako.

Looks like a Megalodon. Dusky teeth are smaller and more triangular. Makos are flatter. 

+ yours has a burlette.

There is a lot of Oligocene material on Topsail Beach. If this is Oligocene, I would call it Otodus angustidens.
