babcockcarrie2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Great white tooth. I'm not familiar with the age of Wild Dunes, SC, but it should be Miocene or younger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Agreed with great white. Nice tooth 1 If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great white evolved serrations around 6 million years ago. Your tooth is probably 3-5 million years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
