Fossil tooth

[David Jarrell]

Taxacomers,

A colleague of mine forwarded a picture to me of a fossil tooth (a big one).  If anyone has experience in identifying in this area, I could send the pic to you directly for identification.  I can't include the pic as an attachment (taxacom rules) and don't have a website set up yet where I might place it and send a link.

 It was found in a North Carolina streambed (location not provided) by a friend of a colleague in my department.    The friend reported finding Megalodon and other shark teeth but this was different.

A botanist,

David Jarrell
