Hey guys,

Well its winter and im suffering from cabin fever lol. :sad11: The ground is frozen so no hunting until spring. But for now ive been rummaging through stuff that I have found years ago and never gotten around to show. So to help cope this cabin fever, I have finally found my shark tooth that I have found at Great Island in Wellfleet Cape Cod. That place has become my favorite beach combing spots because you never know what your gonna find. I don't remember when I found this but I do remember I was looking for arrowheads while walking the beach with my family. At first I thought it was an arrow head because it had that shape of one but to my surprise I founded a shark tooth instead which is very rare around that area, especially in the bay part. I don't know if its fossilized or not but it does look really old and I have no idea what kind it is. I tried looking online but have no luck, every shark tooth looks different so i couldn't find a match. Any ID help would be much appreciated. As always, Enjoy!

Sorry the root is worn down to the blade and the blade is worn down to the root. That being said, it's too worn to give a proper id. Possibly a mako lower or sand tiger.

A size reference will help.
Yes some of the root is missing... That's fairly common for fossil shark teeth.
I don't know your area but that would be plenty enough for me to ID if it were found down here by me.
My first guess would be dusky lower
