Hello,

1-2 : Carcharodon hastalis - upper anterior teeth

3 : Parotodus benedeni - lateral tooth

4-5 : Otodus/Carcharocles megalodon

Nice teeth 1-3 !

Awesome, I thought the first 2 were Extinct Mako, was not sure about 3, # piece of MEG tooth(Wish I found the whole tooth), and last Great white.

I just counted up what I have found this year and I have 861 so far in 2014. Not all of them this size, but some pretty nice teeth!

Thank you for setting me straight! I need to use the scientific names probably. :)

No, they range in size with bulk about half an inch and smaller. Some pretty cool Tiger Shark, Sand Tiger etc... I am addicted to finding shark teeth.

These aren't beach finds are they? I have found quite a few shark teeth around Ponte Vedra beach but none with serrations!!! I'll be there the weekend after Memorial Day actually. Love it there and great finds! :)

Lissa Yes, they are beach finds, Atlantic Beach just a little north of Ponte Vedra.
