      Dolphin maybe

      It seems to be in between the size of a small sperm whale tooth and a large dolphin tooth. Plus it does seem to me to be quite the right shape for a dolphin tooth.

      Greetings @jennifer-smith ! This is great. My best estimate is this is shark tooth fragment. I can see slight serrations on its edges. @bill-heim is once again the best person to ask on this. He is our resident expert on shark teeth and littoral fossils.

      @matthew-gramling I didn’t see the serrations until I took the picture with the flash on! It’s super smooth to touch. So dope. Let me know what’s up @bill-heim 🙂

      @bill-heim Casey key, FL. Specifically a mile north of nokomis beach

      Probably a worn piece of a megalodon

      they’re very badly worn, but maybe @bill-heim can work up an identity for you.

    • Profile picture of Bill Heim
      Bill Heim replied 3 days, 7 hours ago

      Too worn to positively ID, perhaps a Carcharhinus? of some species.

      It might be modern, a perfect 3-D cast that doesn’t fall apart when you hold it up by a leg would be very rare and unlikely

      cool crab! it’s modern though, not fossil.

      Maybe it is morden, but it can be stuck in clay.

      the right one looks like a mako shark.. not sure though.

      @aidan-salaz I was leaning more towards a very worn down snaggletooth shark? What do you think about that?

    Could this be a shark tooth or would it be a different tooth? Missing the bottom jaw part 🙁

      Greetings @jennifer-smith ! Could upload a few more photos from different angles and if possible state the county or beach it was found at. It would help greatly with an ID.

      Greetings @jennifer-smith ! You do appear to have a fossil bone specimen. Of what exactly is difficult to determine. My guess from similar posts is likely sea cow or cetacean. @bill-heim could help an ID.

      @bill-heim help!! And @matthew-gramling thank you!! What is a source I can use to figure out how old the fossils I find are? The area that I go to it’s hard to find info about online!

      Casey Key strata dates any where from late Pliocene to Holocene. So, 3.5 million years to several thousand.
