It looks like a lower tooth and seems small for a GW. <br /><br />The tooth looks to be broken off at the base, which would make it about the size that would be visible on a shark.

I saw the pic on my phone earlier today in low res and thought it could be a Caribbean Reef if not a Bull but seeing a better quality pic now it's clearly not. <br /><br />Would certainly be interesting if it was a confirmed GWS as I'm struggling to think of any confirmed attacks in those waters by a White Shark in the past OfficetoOceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994215418331139925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36324352.post-41778223012873214422015-01-12T10:51:54.289+13:002015-01-12T10:51:54.289+13:00Thanks David!
