Northern Sharks Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Definitely a tiger shark, however the correct name is Galeocerdo cuvier, named after Georges Cuvier, an early 19th century researcher.

Coco Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Georges Cuvier was a french man. His complete name is "Georges Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric Dagobert Cuvier"... He was a part of founders of the compared anatomy, very useful for good IDs. I agree Galeocerdo cuvier for this tooth.

barefootgirl Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Nice tiger shark tooth, They are actually one of my favs. In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

Northern: Yes, you are most definitely correct re the spelling. It's just one of those names I somewhat consistently misspell if I don't don't stop and think about it.
