I found possibly rare shark teeth, what did they come from?

I found these theeth at Myrtle Beach and I haven't been able to find what shark they came from. They are about an inch long, but they're broken and i don't know how long they are when they're full. They are shaped like a saw with smaller teeth coming off on both sides of the spear-like centre shaft.

I don't know where Myrtle Beach is, but it sounds like what you've found is the saw part of a Sawfish. Here's a pic. of one.

I didn't give all the thumbs down, btw! They were there when I arrived.

Reply:take it to your local museum or contact the smithsonian (sorry dont know if i spelt that right) in DC they usually can tell a lot more then just googling can :)
Reply:I would take them to a local aquarium. I'm sure someone there would know right away what they were
Reply:post a picture.That way somebody can see what it looks like.
Reply:Well, it could be from some kind of fish too. Remember there are things out there other than sharks that have teeth. I wouldn't know though, maybe if you included a picture with it....Do some research on what type of sharks are most common in that area, and other species of fish with teeth.
Reply:Shark teeth are frequently found along beaches and some are as long as your hand. Myrthle Beach is a common hunting ground for fossil shark teeth. This may be what you found, if it seems to be made of rock.
Reply:just search "shark teeth photos". you should be able to find your answer that way
Reply:Post a picture but believe it or not, finding shark teeth is not that unusual and they are probably far from rare. I have found several on beaches over the years.
