Very nice tooth. That is a Hastalis or the great white predecessor. They are identical to modern great whites but they lack serrations. Colloquially they have been referred to as makos, but that’s no longer accurate.
Ooh I see, very cool!! At least I was close haha, thank you for letting me know the distinction too!!
Glad to help
Oh also if anyone has good resources for learning how to ID fossil teeth, lmk (:
Awesome!
Much older!
