Is this the tooth of a lemon shark?

[Zacharias Allison]

I found a chipped shark tooth from the Lee Creek Mine in Aurora, North Carolina.  I originally identified the shark tooth being from a lemon shark, and I want to confirm if this is correct or wrong.  What do you guys think?

Hi @zacharias-allison , I don’t think it’s a lemon shark because it has serrations. I’m thinking Carcharhinus. Try searching for Carcharhinus in the Fossil page and seeing how it compares.

Hello, @vperez, @zacharias-allison

Here is a link to the page Victor is referring to.  It has most of the common teeth you can find at Aurora.  This should help you I.D. almost all of your shark finds from Aurora.
