Found this tooth in a Missouri creek this weekend. I am thinking shark, but in Missouri?
Can someone identify this tooth?

How about something to gauge the size? Tape measure, coin, or something. Thanks.

Looks like a shark tooth to me,but I,m no expert on this stuff. I read somewhere that a bunch of the area of Missouri was once part of a vast inland sea,maybe a real old relic from those days.

Never killed a deer that had toes. Guess Missouri deer are funny that way?
