New Members Kityridge Posted 15 hours ago New Members Share Posted 15 hours ago Can anyone please ID this shark tooth? It's from the west coast of Florida, Tampa Bay to Venice Beach area. I went tooth hunting with my family on vacation there and this was the only one we can't figure out. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohler Palaeontology Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Looks mako to me, but no shark expert. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark57 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I agree that this is Carcharodon hastalis, which used to be called a mako but is now considered an extinct white shark that evolved into the great white Carcharodon carcharias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Kityridge Posted 5 hours ago Author New Members Share Posted 5 hours ago Thanks Kohler Palaeontology, Al Dente, and shark57 for the great feedback and analysis on this tooth! Your sleuthing skills are very helpful, and my 10 and 11 year old just asked me first thing this morning, "so what is it?!" I'll deliver the informative and good news to them, lol. Thanks everyone!
