Frightmares Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) I found this tooth in some Lee Creek micro matrix from Aurora, North Carolina. It measures 6mm. After doing some research, I believe it is a Carcharoides catticus tooth. Can anyone confirm? Edited April 18 by Frightmares 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Lover Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Here's my catticus: They are very thin/flat compared to a sand tiger and have comparatively large, triangular cusps. 2 Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dries85 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) I'm thinking posterior Odontaspis ferox. Don't know if it exists in the North Carolina Miocene, but here in the Antwerp Neogene that would be An awesome find..
