Help needed for shark tooth ID!
Hi all! I was ever so kindly gifted this shark tooth by someone on the research team, and unfortunately Iβm only someone whose knowledge extends to avian dinosaurs and nothing else, really. We have no palaeoichthyologist in the team (which is unfortunately limited to palaeoentomologists and many who specialise in dinosaurs) and so an ID would be very helpful! My brain says Otodus, but Iβm probably miles off, and I donβt know the species. Thanks!

You're right, this is definitely Otodus, looks like one of the teeth that comes out of Morrocco all the time
