marla57 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Found on Onslow Beach. Any info is appreciated. Thanks. It's hard to tell the difference but the order shown is front, then back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 It might have been a shark's tooth, before the sand and waves had their way with it.

Troodon Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Yep pretty worn to ID. A tooth is a possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer2906 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 It looks like a worn Megalodon tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marla57 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 I hope that's what it is. I have a friend who dives for Megalodon teeth that thought it was too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 It would be a huge stretch to even consider calling this a megalodon tooth.Whatever it is, it is extremely worn to the point I would go no further than calling it a rock. Lots of stuff like this on the beach. Keep looking, you will find some good teeth occasionally there.

marla57 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'll add it to my jar of "iffies". ( Don't know if it is a tooth or not.) Hope to take them to the Aurora Museum someday for help in identification. I'll definitely be back on the beach looking again. Can't believe how relaxing and enjoyable hunting for teeth (on the beach) has become. The tiniest tooth is just as much of a find to me as a larger one.
