Jaybot Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I see your tags say South Carolina... We have a few experts on east coast sharks. @Shellseeker @Fin Lover @hemipristis (I know there are several others, apologies to those whom I am missing) -Jay “The earth doesn't need new continents, but new men.” ― Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automech Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Nice find! There seems to be a remnant of cusplets on the root. Maybe an angustiden? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) I think I see a bourlette, but the photos aren't great. Could be a worn angustidens but I'm not comfortable saying that without better photos. Shape looks more like an Isurus retroflexus to me, which can have little cusplets.

Shellseeker Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I am not seeing anything that remotely resembles serrations. Why is this not a Mako ? 1 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) I mentioned Isurus. The only thing tripping me up was whether or not I was seeing a bourlette in the first pictures. Looking at the new pictures, I think it's just peel. Here's one I found that has similarities: Edited August 13 by Fin Lover 2 Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) A very nice tooth. I concur with @automech on the cusp lets. I also think I see incipient serrations or crenelations . I've cropped and zoomed one of the OP's photos. C. escheri ? Edited August 13 by hemipristis 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
