Hi, @savanna-zipperer – similarly with this specimen, being able to see the other side of the specimen is useful in identification. I’ll tag in our local shark expert – @fauve-wilson to take a look anyhow. Talk to you soon, Jen
Hi @savanna-zipperer, it is in the carcharhinus genus due to the serrations on the shoulders, and it’s a lower tooth, but I don’t believe that it is a Dusky. If you can provide a labial picture as well, that may help, but the specimen may just have to stay at Carcharhinus sp.. When it comes to requiem sharks, there are a lot so, without a clear view of the fossil it’s hard to identify because of the small differences. Great job filling out the other information however! Best, Fauve
