New Members Beachcomber14 Posted November 26, 2023 New Members Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) I just found this on the beach and honestly thought it was a shark tooth but didn’t realize only fossilized shark teeth are black. Is this a shark tooth? And if so, what kind? (The last picture is the inside and there is a fairly deep groove). Found in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

I’d never looked up oyster anatomy until now and didn’t realize that was the way that part looked Edited November 26, 2023 by Beachcomber14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
