skimfizz Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Hello, I found this in a creek in Summerville, SC. 1st photo shows the collection of finds for the day. The second photo is the isolated tooth. It's about 2" long. Thanks for looking! Edited December 11, 2012 by skimfizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Looks like a nice, big Isurus sp. (Mako). Were the root intact, I'd be more comfortable about suggesting a species for it. Our local members might be able to name it as-is, due to local experience.
