Hi, @james-baxter-2 – This looks like a shark tooth to me and I can tag in some experts to help you narrow down the classification. We can minimally update your classification to include Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Chordata > Class Chondrichthyes. @bill-heim could you take a look? Another photo of the opposite side of the specimen with a ruler would…[Read more]

It is indeed a tooth, but unfortunately way too worn to even hazard a guess as to what species it is.

Hi, @James-baxter2 – did you mean to post the same fossil twice? I can delete one of them if you want. If you were looking for identification help, the What is it? Group is more valuable and I can tag in some shark experts. Thanks, Jen
I used to live in Scott’s valley! Fantastic find!

@jeanette-pirlo, do you have any idea what kind of shark this may be? I imagine @bill-heim will have some insight. We have a group called ‘shocking shark teeth’ that may be most suited for any future posts on sharks!
I’m not sure. When I lived out in SC/SV I didn’t really pay attention to the fossil record, I was focused on modern marine bio. Perhaps victor might know
should i repost it to shocking shark teeth or can i change the group

Hi @james-baxter – you cannot change the group, as of right now. I’ll tag in @vperez as well to help with the identification.
Hi @james-baxter , your tooth is from the extinct hook-tooth mako, Isurus planus.
