This is a hastalis tooth that has just a littel hook on the tip :P

Interesting tooth; I've also got a 2 7/8" Otodus tooth with a similar 90° tip.

Here I have two bone valley meg's that are also deformed.

The littel green one looks a bid like a angry green frog he looks like he is exploding.

Like Erik M, I also collect shark teeth from the nocturnal vampire shark, noctis translyvanicus. See the attached photos of a full grown adult and a juvenile vampire shark.

I was going to save this next part for Halloween, but since the subject of pathological teeth came up first, I will post this here now. A few years ago I was inspired to write a poem about the vampire shark, and I posted it on another forum just for kicks. I am not much of a poet, but here is my best shot. It is a piece called The Vampire Shark (how appropriate, huh?) about the terrifying vampire sharks that dwell in our ocean's depths.

The Vampire Shark

Rumors run deep of a hideous creep

who sleeps in Davy Jone’s locker,

and if you should dare to peek in there,

be prepared for a terrible shocker.

For a vampire shark lies still in the dark,

waiting for the daylight to dim

far below deck in his old shipwreck,

'til the moon and the tides will awake him.

Sinewy and sinister, and quick to administer

a bite to the neck, yes it’s true.

This transatlantic Transylvanian

once in a vein, will drain you.

Oh Neptune, Poseidon! With sharp pointed tridents

Help keep this beast at bay.

For sharpened sticks, the traditional fix

in oceans are scarce, they say.

Shiver me timbers, shivers down your spine!

Heed the hagfish, the lampreys and eels.

With the vampire shark they’re familiar

And will feed on what’s left of his meals.

So dine from the sea, but just listen to me

Let doubt not be part of your reasoning.

When feasting on fish, do as you wish,

just use garlic as part of the seasoning!
