Shellseeker Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Michael, I think you have (whatever name scientists have disagreed on ) Isurus hastalis, Cosmopolitodus hastalis or Carcharodon hastalis, the Broad-Tooth White shark, is an extinct white shark that lived from the Miocene epoch to the Pleistocene epoch. Its teeth can reach lengths up to 3.5 in (7.5 cm) and are found worldwide, especially in Miocene and Pliocene marine deposits. A lower tooth in the center of the jaw...

The big tooth looks to be 2.3 inches long and 1 inch and 5/8 wide. The smaller one looks to be about 1 inch and 5/8 long and 1 inch wide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Can you tell whether it has worn serrations? I'm not sure if I am seeing them here. If so, it would be a Great White, which is what that tooth shape and root reminds me of. Edited April 15 by Fin Lover Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here are some photos for you to judge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
