Lloyd Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have no idea what it is but it's one nice tooth. Great find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDOTB Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yeah, I guess the roots do look a little bit to off to be anything alopias. I retract my previous statement. But are you sure longfin? I thought the blade would be thinner. Could we get a side profile shot!? DO, or do not. There is no try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncjack99 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for all the input into the "fake thresher debacle" I'm firmly in the Mako camp on this one now. The curvature of the root threw me off and then I thought I had confirmation with George, but we all miss one every once in a while besides the root is too thin to be a Thresher. In any case it's still gonna get a spot in my Mako case. Mike - if you still want that profile shot, just let me know and I'll get one posted.

Arjen Lans Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I agree with Eric, It's an Isurus UA3, an intermediate tooth. From the pictures I'd say I. oxyrinchus. I. retroflexus has a more depressed, flattened crown whereby the cutting edges reach the base of the crown. Here are some I. oxyrinchus, same tooth position, from Belgium: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
