New Members Sharko Posted July 31 New Members Share Posted July 31 I got 3 teeth found on shark tooth island in Wilmington , North Carolina,USA im thinking last one might be a tiny Meg fragment from a middle section of a tooth, none of them have any serrations or cusps i know that these are tiny fragments so I understand if they cannot be identified 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Almost all the teeth are from the New Hanover Member of the Eocene Castle Hayne Formation there. It's a dredge spoil island though so anything is possible. Since these are fragmentary I'd look on the elasmo.com Castle Hayne page for a possible ID. Since these are fragmentary you'll probably only get close when comparing to complete teeth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patelinho7 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I agree, first two look like mako. C. hastalis maybe? I’m not the best at shark teeth ID at species level… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 The first one looks like Macrorhizodus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
