A GF of mine brought me back a shark's tooth from her Florida vacation in July. I think this tooth once belonged to a Great White, but I'm not certain.

What do you think?

did she bring you back a tommy hilfiger shirt too ;)? I'd say a smaller shark, like a nurse shark or something.

It does look anything like a nurse shark's teeth.

I'm assuming you meant doesn't. Doesn't look anything like a shark tooth at all after looking at these pics

Yes, my bad.

It's definitely a well-smoothed shark's tooth. I'm convinced it's belonged to a Great White.

Quite possibly fossilsed tooth from a Carcharocles megalodon. It's in poor shape like it was tumbled.

Definitely not a nurse shark tooth! LOL

Cheers!
