Find the tooth. Read the clues. Know the shark.
- Beach hunting tutorials
- Vision-assisted tooth outline isolation
- Seven explainable morphology signals
- 37 comparative reference profiles
A Professional Shark Tooth Field Guide
Turn a beach find into an evidence-backed field record.
Learn how to read the beach, plan a practical low-tide hunt, photograph a tooth, and compare its visible traits across modern and fossil shark profiles.
Scout combines on-device Vision outline isolation with seven explainable morphology signals. Results are comparative field assessments—not image-model probabilities or formal taxonomic determinations.
Built for the hunt, the identification, and the record.
Hunt smarter at the beach
Step-by-step tutorials cover productive beach features, tide timing, shell-line scanning, sifting technique, field safety, and responsible collecting.
Plan with official NOAA tides
Use an optional one-time location request to match a nearby NOAA CO-OPS prediction station and review upcoming highs, lows, and a practical hunting window.
Analyze photos on your iPhone
Scout isolates the tooth from its background, checks the visual signal, estimates crown geometry, and keeps the selected photo on the device.
Reason across seven field clues
Compare crown form, edge pattern, size, root shape, cusplets, curvature, and surface appearance with clear support and conflict notes.
Explore 37 comparative profiles
Browse modern and fossil sharks with common and scientific names, geologic periods, diagnostic clues, expert notes, and taxonomy cautions.
Build a protected field log
Save the photo, date, measurement, beach, optional coordinates, notes, identification status, and favorites in device-protected local storage.

Professional guidance without false certainty
- Photos are analyzed locally and are not uploaded to Goodale Studios.
- Each match explains which visible traits support or conflict with the comparison.
- Difficult groups are reported conservatively when isolated teeth do not support a defensible species-level identification.
- Saved tide forecasts remain available when NOAA cannot be reached.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about Shark Tooth Scout.
Where can I download Shark Tooth Scout?
Shark Tooth Scout is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Use the Download on the App Store button on this page to open the official listing.
What is included for free?
The free field kit includes hunting tutorials, NOAA tide planning, three complete identifications, eight starter profiles, and five saved field records.
What does Scout Pro unlock?
The $4.99 one-time Scout Pro purchase unlocks unlimited identifications, all 37 comparative profiles, and unlimited saved field records. It is a lifetime unlock with no subscription and no ads. Apple shows the final localized price before purchase.
How do I restore Scout Pro?
Use Restore Purchases in Shark Tooth Scout while signed in to the Apple Account that made the purchase. Apple verifies the non-consumable entitlement across supported devices.
How should I photograph a tooth?
Place the tooth on a plain, contrasting, non-reflective background. Show the full crown and root from directly above, use even light, avoid hard shadows, and keep the tooth clear of the frame edges. Scout will warn when the visual signal needs confirmation.
Does Scout identify a shark from the photo alone?
No. The photo helps Scout isolate the outline and estimate visible geometry. You then confirm field traits such as serrations, root form, cusplets, size, curve, and surface appearance. The result is an explainable comparison across reference profiles, not a black-box image probability.
