Barasingha Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Is this a piece of shark tooth? It is maybe about 1/2". Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Same has your first post, sorry no shark tooth. Not sure what it actually is may also be part of a shell. Keep looking they are out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 That does look like a croc or alligator tooth, but if Troodon says it's not a tooth, then it's not a tooth. Say, where are you finding these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 if I had found this tooth in Florida, I'd label it "gator". http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Oh-oh. Two vertebrate experts are unsure. I'm mostly an invert guy, so I'll just watch. (insert head scratch and popcorn eating icon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickNC Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Looks crocodilian to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrieder79 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I was thinking alligator or crocodile when I saw it as well. Luck is the most important skill of a fossil diver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barasingha Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Alligator/crocodile would make sense with the curve. That is what my daughter said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I, too, see a reptile tooth. Croc certainly seems likely, but if I found this in NJ I'd think mosasaur. Where was it found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
