I recently found this shark tooth on the beach in Wild Dunes, South Carolina.  Can anyone help me identify what kind of shark this is from?  Age of the tooth?

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

It could really be 5 million years old!

 

Yes. The great white evolved serrations around 6 million years ago. Your tooth is probably 3-5 million years old.
