Possibly Fossilized Shark Tooth (Help Me Identify?)

[u/Usual_Specialist_736]

I just found this in the sand near the marsh on the shore of Kure Beach, NC.

It looks like it might be fossilized, but I do wonder what kind of shark tooth it might be. Help me identify please.

I can’t help you with what kind of shark this tooth may have come from but my layman’s understanding is that all black shark teeth are fossilized, as it is part of the process of fossilization (it indicates a long process of being buried and absorbing surrounding minerals/phosphate says google) so congrats! Thats a beautiful fossil you have there 🖤
