Great White Shark Tooth Question


Bails

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I had a quick question regarding fossil great white teeth. I am from Charleston, SC and hunt for teeth a good bit. Great White teeth are rare here compared to other places. I have read that the roots of Great White teeth tend to break easier than a Meg, Angy, Hastalis, etc. That is definitely true for the handful I have found in Charleston (see pic). 
 

I follow a page on Facebook and consistently see people finding full great whites with the root fully intact in Myrtle Beach, SC and Cherry Grove. My question - how come GW teeth found here in Charleston consistently have the root broken, but in Myrtle Beach they are consistently full with root intact? Is it due to age of the tooth? More Great Whites in that area? Just a random observation and wanted to see if anyone could provide an explanation. Thanks!
