DevilDog Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Found on Topsail Island, North Carolina in an area where fossil shark and barracuda teeth are often found. Looks to me like a very large barracuda tooth, but at over 1.5" long, it is much larger than any others I've ever found or seen. Some other kind of fish tooth?
