New Members gravydb Posted September 3 New Members Share Posted September 3 Can someone help ID this weird item? Found on the infamous Shark Tooth Island, Savannah River, home of many fossilized oddities. Found lots of shark teeth and stingray mouth plates, and this weird item. The two angled sides are highly polished, as if enameled. The edge is serrated with precision, as if machined. Yet the “root” seems bone-like. I have been researching this item online, unable to identify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Lover Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) I agree...fragment of a serrated shark tooth. The "bone-like" area is probably part of the root. Edited September 3 by Fin Lover 3 Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyw Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I’m with the others. Side of a shark tooth. Tan part with serrations is the enamal the black is the inside of the tooth. At the thickness and size and how straight it is I wonder if it’s from a meg??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark57 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Definitely looks like a meg fragment based on how quickly the tooth thickens away from the edge and the lack of coarse serrations. Those look like meg serrations as opposed to great white serrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
