FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

This is a really small fragment so it’s difficult to be certain, but the lack of serrations and complete cutting edge make me think this might be Carcharodon hastalis. @bill-heim any thoughts on this one?
Could be Isurus as well, I would tag it as unidentified
Since this tooth is so dinged up I am not confident on any specific ID. I figured it was either Negaprion or a lower Carcharhinus tooth based on the size and thickness. I am interested to see what Bill Heim thinks about this.
