Hawkeye Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 My son found this tooth yesterday in Summerville, SC and it has me stumped. I'm sure it is a small example of something common but I cannot place it. Total length is about 1/2 in. and it has very fine serrations and small cusps. Sorry the picture is a little blurry. I'll say thanks for your help in advance because I know somebody will tell me what it is. If you believe everything you read, perhaps it's time for you to stop reading...

I'll say thanks for your help in advance because I know somebody will tell me what it is. Excellent example of a juvenile/posterior Carcharocles auriculatus (as stated by others members). A great first find for this fossil shark species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great first find for this fossil shark species. This is NOT a C. auriculatis but a C. angustidens. Gr Martijn Qua patet orbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
