Unknown tooth


FossilFreak

Not quite sure what this tooth is. I guess if I had to guess, I would say some type of thresher.

It doesn't look like a thresher to me. The blade looks a little to narrow. I was thinking cf Loxodon sp, a Sliteye Shark, OR, Rhizoprionodon sp, a Sharpnose shark.

Hmmm, it does look strange though, and I am not 100%. Maybe someone else can provide further insight. Nice tooth though, like that reddish-brown coloration. :)

Definitely not a thresher. I'd also be leaning to Rhizoprionodon

Thanks for the input. What makes me think it's not a Rhizoprionodon, is that the pictures of them I've seen have a sharp angle of the tooth coming off the root. This one is curved. That's why I said thresher, but I agree that overall, it doesn't really look like a thresher either.
