Frightmares Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 First tooth looks like Retroflexus long fin mako. Not sure on the second one because of the root damage, but I’d guess mako, as well. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Jayme. The first tooth looks to be shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus). Second is also mako. I lean towards the longfin mako (Isurus retroflexus) based on the curvature of the crown but it has been a while since I have been collecting shark teeth. Someone else may have more insight to its identification. Link to post Share on other sites
