    HI Charlie- It is difficult to be sure, but this fragment looks to be fairly thick. Too thick for hastalis, and the root looks like it could be the short fin mako (Isurus oxyrhinchus)

      Hi Lee,
      The root on this tooth is a bit weathered, along with some of the enamel on the back. I see that it’s difficult to identify the tooth as hastalis from the fossil’s condition, especially with it’s thickness, so I’ll change the classification to just Isurus.
