hokietech96 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hi. These three where found in St. Pete’s Florida on the beach. Is it possible the first one in top is a small great white? The serrations on both sides is causing me to think that. The middle tooth I think is hammerhead? based on the research I did. The bottom tooth I believe is sandbar based on how thin the root is and the length of the blade? Any feedback would be much appreciated. I’m still trying my best to ID these as accurately as possible. Thank you in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fossildude19 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I don't think Great White as they usually are a straight triangle. Yours has a slight curve on one side. Bull or Dusky shark? Wait for more knowledgeable people, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have 800+ teeth from FL and swear half of them are Bull or Dusky Haha. Thanks you for taking a look. Do you think I am at least right on the other 2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Searcher78 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Maybe I'm wrong, but I wouldn't go with Hammerhead for the second one. All the teeth I have seen for Hammerhead have a slight indentation on the outer curve of the tooth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Searcher78 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The second tooth reminds me of the Silky shark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the groove is not as prominent as the one in the picture. Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
