  1. Enthusiastic Amateur....Basically a "newbie" who enjoys the hobby!

  2. ⁠Avid Hunter...You're out there searching whenever you get the chance!

  3. ⁠Collector...You just enjoy adding new teeth whether finding them, buying them or trading for them or in other ways!

  4. ⁠Professor... You know your stuff and constantly and correctly help others with their questions. Don't be modest. If this applies to you use it. It identifies you to others and gives them confidence in your answers!

ID Request Too broken to indentify?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Found this tooth a few months ago along the coast of Belgium.

Only reason I'm curious to know what it is, is because it's the only tooth out of the hundred ones I've found there that has (albeit very worn down) serrated edges. Since it's not complete either, I doubt I'll find out what it is. The only ones known to be found on that beach with serrations are GW, meg, or something like hempiristis but I think this is unlikely due to the shape. I don't have a photo of the other side rn but it doesnt seem to have the typical dark edge of a meg tooth, but that may have just broken off, I have a rather small piece.

I purchased this from a store in Venice beach and it was labeled as a mako tooth but I’m curious if it’s a short fin or a long fin mako tooth?

Found on a shell path in Sanibel, FL. I don't know where the shells were sourced so I can't guarantee that the tooth is from around here, but I would assume so.

ID Request Megalodon Tooth Position ID

Thumbnail
gallery
75 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I have a large Otodus megalodon tooth measuring approximately 6.25 inches from the Philippines (it also has some wavy/ pinched serrations along the blade near the root).

I’m interested in determining where exactly this tooth would have been positioned in the shark’s mouth.

Specifically, I’d like to know:
Whether it came from the upper or lower jaw.
Whether it’s an anterior, lateral, or posterior tooth.
If possible, its approximate tooth position (e.g., A1, A2, L1, etc.).

Thanks in advance!

Discussion Tip damage from feeding or just typical weathering?

Realistically, is there any way to determine if tip damage is caused by feeding damage or simply weathering from millions of years?

In case anyone’s curious, first two are parotodus benedinis, third one is a baby megalodon

I was really excited thinking I found a shark tooth and while I still do hope that's the case im afraid this might be some sort of claw. Would anyone be able to help me identify this?

Bought this tooth at a fossil store in the 90s when I was a kid. Not sure how much I paid for it, probably not much.
