I found this shark tooth in a shell pit near Orlando Florida. Was hoping someone could help identify it, and possibly an estimated age. This is my first large and perfectly intact tooth, so I'm pretty excited to find out what it belonged too.

Welcome to the forum! :meg:

 

Really nice lower anterior GW! It's Pliocene or younger (< 5 million years old).

That is none other than Carcharodon carcharias aka Great White. Great find!

 

What does it measure along the slant of the tooth?
