Hello all, 

I’m new to collecting & recently found this tooth whilst diving off the coast of Venice Florida USA.

I’ve looked on-line & read a few blogs but am still unsure.

Approximate measurements:

5 cm long

2 cm wide

Thank you for your time & knowledge!

Hi, welcome to the fossils forum!

Also I agree, it's a lower tooth from Hemipristis serra. Really nice find too!

I agree, this is definitely a Hemi. And it is in very nice condition!
