@iva-robertson this is a tooth from Carcharocles megalodon, the largest shark to ever live! It is a posterior tooth, from the back of the mouth. Nice find! If you put in a more specific location (nearest town) I can help you get this post to research grade.

Nice! Where?
-
Nice tooth! It has a Gastrochaenolites trace fossil on the anterior too, meaning the date mussel (Lithophaga) made a home on it!
-
Mason-hintermeister I was wondering what that was! I have a few other teeth with that. Again thank you so much for the information!
-
That’s pretty cool. So the mussel attaches after the tooth falls out, right?
-
Do not use subgenus. Specific epithet is species only (one word)

Nice tooth! If you have location, geochronology, and lithostratigraphy information you can add that to make it research grade.
-
@mason-hintermeister I filled out everything I could to the best of my knowledge, not sure if it’d be enough

We would need an exact location found to mark it as Research grade.

I think possibly mako or great white
-
Why is it black?
-
@amanda-fina the colors of teeth can very a lot, it kind of depends on geographical location, what minerals are in the area and how well the tooth preserved
-
@amanda-fina very nice find! This is likely a worn great white tooth, definitely fossilized which is an unusual find for long island. I wonder if it is truly from here or if one was dropped by a fossil hunter/parent seeding beach for a kid or traded by native peoples. If it truly is from the island, then it is likely Pleistocene (ice age) in age.…[Read more]

@mason-hintermeister thanks for this info! Adding more pics and info to see if that helps!
-
Perfect! I’ll mark this post research grade
-
@mason-hintermeister I reached into the water before it got scooped up by the waves
-
@amanda-fina nice get! It’s a really cool find. Some other fossils have been found from the offshore deposits of the bight, but none very diagnostic age-wise. Today, it’s a great white nursery!
-
@mason-hintermeister if you have updates please keep me in the loop! Very curious!
-
Long Island is formed from a terminal glacial moraine. It is formed of rocks that were basically scraped off the rest of New York. It is highly unlikely (not impossible but highly unlikely) that a shark tooth came from there. More likely it was dropped by someone. This should not be research grade.
-
@bill-heim even though we’ve had sharks the last 2 years patrolling our beaches? Or you mean this old?
-
That tooth is probably around 15 million years old.
