Sacha Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Since I'm done with the Peace River this year, I thought I would start sorting this season's finds in preparation for my report to the Univ. of Florida. I usually throw all the small teeth I find into a jug for give aways, but I had set these 3 teeth aside because they looked a little different. Just wondered if they were anything special. They all are serrated on both edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I agree the middle tooth is a small meg, John. The other 2 look like Carcharhinus species to me. 2 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The first tooth seems to have rather large serrations for its size. I tend to hang onto anything out of the ordinary along with a sample of the ordinary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP--any chance for close-up, lighter pics of both sides of the first and third teeth? 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
