Auspex Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Maybe an eroded "sand-tiger"?

barefootgirl Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Not sure what kind of tooth it is but I like the color, looks baby blue. Good luck on finding more.

THobern Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Not had to much luck with shark tooth ids lately, but it looks like a lower Carcharhinus sp. or a slightly pinched lemon shark tooth to me.

edd Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) no one has ever found any sand tigers in Gainesville Florida and to me it doesnt look like a sand tiger.

Hogtownfossil Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 no one has ever found any sand tigers in Gainesville Florida and to me it doesnt look like a sand tiger. Have to say Carcharias teeth have been found in Gainesville, I've found one and several friends have found others, all were very small and super rare, almost micros. Doesn't really look like true cusps on this tooth. Does look like a Lemon shark tooth, I would say it is pathological, since the lateral teeth have serrations on the shoulders of the root, this one just carried on partially to the anterior. Great find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 what makes you say not sand tiger ? just curious Earthdog, Sand tigers don't have roots shaped like that. Even a tooth with weirdly eroded roots wouldn't look like that. It does look like an anterior lemon shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
