I used to wok at the Vancouver Aquarium's Marine Mammal Rescue and Rehab department for about 6 years, but that was a while ago, and all my contacts there have moved on. lol
This seems like a fairly fresh board, so I dunno how successful this question will be...but, does anyone know if there is a calculation to determine how large a shark was by the size of the tooth?
SO, im just tryin to find an answer outta curiosity.
I was given a lower primary that measures 2.01 inches in length from root to tip....is there a way to know (using that info) how big the shark was that it came from?

Nevermind, I found one possible answer:
"There is a formula for calculating the size of a shark based on the size of triangular tooth: measure the length of one side of the tooth in inches, then multiply by ten to get the total length of the shark in feet."
