Mudkicker Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 While creek hunting in Summerville a while back, finding your everyday normal teeth snaggles, angy's, mako's, and tigers, one looked totally different. Not knowing what it was I e-mailed a buddy of mine the picture. He called me and said that I had found a rare tooth for the Summerville area, it is a Galeocerdo Mayumbensis or extinct tiger shark.

gatorjames85 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Those things are pretty rare here in gainesville. I have a couple of spots where you can usually find at least a beat up one each time, but at the rest of the sites I hunt, they are almost non-existent. Definitely something to be excited about.
