I bought some bulk shark teeth and it says its Moroccan scrap which upon research is just cuz some phosphate mining in the area unearths a lot of sandshark/mackerel shark teeth etc...which is cool.

The ones I found had a lot of broken parts but a few full teeth which was exciting (I tragically dont live in an area where I can easily hunt for my own).

This one tooth is missing its roots but it looks different than the others which are all easily grouped in a few different shapes sizes and colour's. Just wondering what type of shark it could be from? I was looking at pictures of fossilized teeth for species this type of thing normally has and I could match most of them fairly confidently but not this one. Lego just for scale
