Hi, @jeff-alliaume, @vperez or @bill-heim might be able to help!
Looks like Odontaspis reticulata but I need to see the other side to be sure.
@bill-heim Hi Bill I added a profile and a pic from the other side of the tooth.
Looks like O. reticulata. There are 2 species which look similar Carcharias cuspidata and Ondontaspis reticulata. The most readily way to tell them apart (there are other differences) is that on Odontaspis beneath the enamel on the labial (flat) side, the root is indented while on Carcharias it is more flat. Carcharias is a more robust tooth than Odontaspis as well.
oh ok, thats good to know! Thank you very much!
