New Members That One Guy Posted August 2 New Members Share Posted August 2 I recently found some shark teeth at a beach on Tybee Island, GA. Most of the teeth were fairly easy to Id, but I found two which I can't seem to nail down. I believe they're from the Miocene period or later given some of the other teeth I've found in that area such as Carcharius taurus and Isurus oxyrinchus. However, I can't confirm that because I couldn't find much data on the offshore deposits in the area. The first tooth with the orange root strikes me as Carcharius cuspidatus, but I'm not really sure. As for the second one with the curve I have absolutely no idea. I am very new to shark teeth, and I would be very appreciative of some more experienced input. Also, the box is 1 cm^2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
