jax Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Nice tooth TJ! Those are my favorite ones to find at the beach. I got to get down there and hunt. Never know where there might be a mammoth tooth waiting for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreekCrawler Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Nice tiger Tj! You can just look at that tooth and see why it opens up sea turtles with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracer Jr. Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 thanks everyone. ever since Ike all i've really found was little lemon shark teeth. i found one bull shark along with the tiger, but the root was missing. i really like the tiger though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy 55 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Tj, nice find looks like Galeocerdo cuvier to me also. It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serack Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I have found a few of these, and I always identified them based off of this pic on elasmo Which is labeled as Galeocerdo Mayumbensis and is grouped with g. aduncus The main distinction between the g. cuvier and g mayumbensis that I can postulate based off of the pics on elasmo are that the root of the curvier seems a lot bulkier, while the the one TJ found seems to have a root that is of the same thickness as the rest of the tooth.
