How it works

How do you identify a shark tooth from a photo?

Photograph the full crown and root on a plain background. The app compares visible shape, serrations, and proportions, then suggests a likely species for you to review.

Photo identification with useful context

Each result connects the suggested species to a profile you can review and a collection entry you can keep.

Photo-based identification

Take a new photo or upload one from your library to start an identification.

Species profiles

Review details about the suggested shark, its habitat, time period, and tooth shape.

Personal collection

Save photos, identification results, notes, and timestamps with your finds.

Modern & fossil teeth

Use the same workflow for a recent beach find or a fossil tooth in your collection.

Check the tooth, then review the match

The shark tooth identifier app compares visible features in your photo, including the crown, root, proportions, and serrations. It returns a likely species match with a profile you can inspect before saving the result.

Use the visual guides to compare common finds such as Great White Sharks, Tiger Sharks and extinct giants such as the legendary Megalodon.

You can also compare similar triangular teeth from Bull Sharks, Sand Tiger Sharks and Lemon Sharks. These pages explain which features to check when the app returns a close match.
