I found this tooth in some Lee Creek micro matrix from Aurora, North Carolina. It measures 6mm. After doing some research, I believe it is a Carcharoides catticus tooth. Can anyone confirm?

I've got this unusual shark tooth from a Florida creek that has side cusps. At just over a centimeter in length it is way to small to consider any of the megalodon ancestors with side cusps. Also, no real serrations apparent on this tooth though it is a bit water worn. The root doesn't really look right for a Sand Tiger Shark (Carcharias taurus) tooth (not even one of the more blade-like posterior teeth). Those have very thick bulbous roots that still show some of the U-shape of the anterior teeth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carcharias_taurus_teeth.jpg Richard Hulbert identified somewhat similar specimens from the Miocene Montbrook site as Carcharoides catticus. This is not a very commonly encountered species and I'm wondering if those here on the forum with more experience with this taxon might comment on the viability of this tentative identification. Looking to learn more about this unusual and enigmatic genus and any thoughts for a probable identity for this little specimen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcharoides https://www.google.com/search?q="carcharoides+catticus"&tbm=isch Cheers. -Ken
