North Dakota sharks tooth

[larson1951]

this is only the second sharks tooth that we found in this area
the first one i found in 1965 and it is exactly the same type only the other one is in pristine condition.....if i could ever find it.....i am not organized too good
now we find another one
maybe gator or tom clark will know what it is
one thing for sure it is a fossilized piece and has to be awful old

That is a really neat find! Is it fossilized? I have found some fossil sharks teeth here in Montana, but it is still imbeded in a conglomerate type of rock.

thanks old digger......if you read my entire post you will notice that the last line says..............."one thing for sure it is a fossilized piece and has to be awful old"

i wish i could find the one i found when i was 14years old.......it is perfect....i got it in a box in my basement someplace.......somewhere

hard to say with out seeing the rest of it but I'll give ya 3 choices even though you did not ask me.
Mako
Sand shark
Goblin shark
If I had to pic from them I'd between sand or goblin.But you guy's could have others over there.I gave a site in this post the other day that allows you the print copies of fossil shark teeth.http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/north-american-indian-artifacts/373729-finds-yesterday.html
Here's the link to them.....Fossil Identification Sheets - New York, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina. Printable Fossil Identification Guides

This is from North Dakota too

More than likely it came from when the Mississippi inbayment reached for the gulf to Canada a very long time ago. Great find

Looks like an old one for sure.
Nice find Steve.
Coming from your area that's probably a Cretolamna shark tooth.
That's pre Megalodon.
If we judged fossil age like artifacts...comparatively.. it would be a paleo find.
"Cretaceous" I belive that was swimming with dinosaurs.
