I got these Hastalis teeth from a local "Meg Ledge" diver. I'm not completely clear on the I. Hastalis vs. C. Hastalis, broad form vs. narrow form, etc. controversy. My understanding is the North Carolina "Meg Ledges" are all Pungo River formation. Does that narrow down which Mako/White Shark these teeth are? The larger tooth is flat and broad when compared to the smaller one, which is more narrow and thick/robust. Same species, different jaw position, different size shark?

Hastalis aren't Isurus (makos) anymore.  The picture below has broad vs. narrow but I don't know much about differentiating one vs. the other or the validity of the plicatilis argument.  I personally just call all the ones I find hastalis.  Let's see what others say.
