New Members totallydigsit Posted April 30 New Members Share Posted April 30 (edited) Hey all! Requesting your help identifying an interesting selection of teeth found by @jcor246 and me down on the ol’ Peace River, FL. (For brevity, separate ID posts featuring the non-toothy specimens collected on this outing will follow shortly.🆔🆘) Thanks, Jena and Josh Edited April 30 by totallydigsit Signature 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 1 might be a piece of a megalodon...I believe I'm seeing a worn bourlette. 3 looks like a tiger shark, but I don't know what kinds they have in FL...someone else can be more specific. 4 may also be a tiger or possibly a Physogaleus contortus...I'm not sure based on the wear. 5 is a Hemipristis serra. 1 Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 6 is an alligator tooth. I think. Looks like something nibbled on it. Good size too! Jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jp Thanks; that was my guess, but I wasn't sure. We have more odontocete teeth in Summerville than gators. Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were thinking gator! Did not think those were nibbles, though. Very cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 5 is one my favorites. The serrations are so defined. Crazy! We were also hoping 1 would be a piece of meg. Someone who was digging about 50 feet away from us found a nice in-tact 2 in. meg tooth. the search continues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
