MyrtleBeachSharkTeeth Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Found these along with hundreds of others at Myrtle Beach. I don't know about the first one.It has two cusps on both sides.We were told the second one was from a Mackerel Shark.Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The first tooth is Serratolamna serrata from the Cretaceous. I'm surprised it is so well preserved, most beach finds aren't. The second one will be difficult to identify because it is not whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowsharks Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Agree, 1st tooth is definitely a S. serrata. My best guess on the 2nd tooth is a Cretalamana appendiculata. Both of these sharks are Mackerel sharks. Daryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
