sammi Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hey! I would really appreciate it if you could help me id this fossil - I believe it is a shark tooth, but I'm not too sure as I am completely new to this. It is 27mm long. Would you be able to tell me what class/family/genus/time period it's from? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Where is it from? Is this a personal find, or a purchase/gift? Looks like a sand tiger shark tooth? Maybe Carcharias tingitana ?

sammi Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hey Tim, Thanks for your reply I don't actually have any info about its locality - I traded it with a friend. Yes, it could be a sand tiger shark tooth - it's certainly quite small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I see some distinct striations so I'm thinking maybe Striatolamia or Scapanorhynchus. It's unfortunate that you don't have any locality info because that's the best way to narrow down these teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 It wouldn't surprise me if it's from Morocco. There are tons of these floating around the world. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
