New Members JM6165 Posted October 11, 2023 New Members Share Posted October 11, 2023 I am trying to ID some of my teeth I have collected. I am a diver and I collected these teeth 20 miles ff the coast of North Carolina around 105 feet or 32 meters under water. Any help I can get will be great.

New Members JM6165 Posted October 12, 2023 Author New Members Share Posted October 12, 2023 WHat are the differences between Megalodon and Hastalis teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Megs have a bourlette and serrations, which hastalis don't have. The root shape is very different...megs are much thicker and a U or Y shape, whereas hastalis are thinner and just straight across. Blades/crowns of hastalis will also generally be thinner than a meg blade/crown. Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members JM6165 Posted October 12, 2023 Author New Members Share Posted October 12, 2023 Trying to put a display together for our dive club with the different teeth I have found diving. I have some Hemipristis Serra (Snaggletooth), Galeocerdo Aduncus & Cuvier, Hammerhead, some that could be Mako or giant White. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
