Carcharodon hastalis - Chile
BellamyBlake posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I have here an alleged Carcharodon hastalis from Chile. It is 1.85" long and 1.12" wide. After receiving the tooth, it looked a lot more like Isurus planus to me. The other party insists it's Carcharodon hastalis. At the very least, they insist it comes from Chile. To the best of my knowledge, Isurus planus isn't found in Chile. I've never heard of it anyway. Two questions, then. Is this Hastalis or Planus? And if it is Planus, might it be Chilean? Thank you, Bellamy

Hi guys, I don’t really know the Chilean fauna so any help would be appreciated. 1. Label is outdated so it should read Bahia inglesa fm, rather than huarra, however, I didn’t know the scientific name of a dogfish from here. 2. some sand tiger shark? Not sure of species or even genus 3. could be another sand tiger but could be a small hastalis? 4. Carcharhinus Priscus?

Hello everyone, I'd like to share my extreme budget collection of exotic megs/shark teeth so far, I've have been collecting shark teeth and other for a little over a year and a half now on an extremely tight budget and have been surprised by what I was able to get a hold of so far. Condition doesn't bother me hence the budget but I have been able to find some megs from from interesting locations over the short period of time I've been collecting with a little bit of luck. Locations include Puerto Rico, Cuba, Japan, Hawaii, Morocco, Mexico, Peru, and The Phillipines. Anyone else out there with extreme budget rare finds especially shark teeth (or from generally exotic locations), feel free to share and I'd love to see! In order of pictures: 1) Two megs and a hemi from Isabella, Puerto Rico 2) meg from Hawaii (Restored) 3) great white from Japan 4) meg from Morocco 5) meg from Cuba (unfortunately stuck on a wood plate but still a lovely display piece) 6) meg from the Phillipines 7) cubutensis from Peru 8) 2 Makos from Mexico 9 & 10) Heavily and horribly restored 5.9 inch Chilean meg (funny story with this one had an even worse restoration on it with made it look no different from a replica, was suspicious and bought it and when attempting a horrible derestoration process and a few slight touch ups of my own a large chilean meg was hiding under the mess, still needs a tad bit of work but I still love I was able to snag a large one cheap in this day and age ) @WhodamanHD Here we go uploaded !

Hello all Up for trade is this set of South-American teeth. It includes 11 Chilean and 4 Peruvian teeth. The C. chubutensis, Isurus desori and Carcharhinus cf. brachyurus (the last three are on the right side) are from Peru. The others (Megachasma pelagios, C. hastalis, Carcharhinus cf. brachyurus, Isurus retroflexus and a fish tooth labelled as dog fish (not sure if correct) and some unidentified teeth. The C. hastalis is just over 2 inch. The Megachasma pelagios is around 2 cm. The C. chubutensis is just under 2 inch and has a crack in the root, but is broken. More precise location is available with every tooth. I prefer to trade this as a set. Also up for trade are these partial teeth from the Santonian of Israel. Certainly an unusual location. What do I want in return? Squalicorax teeth from unusual locations, any Kem Kem stuff I find cool (teeth, bones, scutes, unknow stuff), reptile, amphibian or dinosaur stuff, Mosasaur teeth from Unusual locations or I'm open for any offer I like Due to Corona I can only ship after the end of the lockdown.

Hello all Up for trade is this Chilean Carcharodon carcharias. It was found in the Huarra formation, near Antofagasta. The tooth is just over 2 inch measured on the longest side. I want to trade this for trilobites, dinosaur, Crocodile or other reptile stuff, Kem Kem material, insects, fossil fish or something surprising. Unfortunately, I will not be able to send this piece untill the quarantine in my country is lifted.

New remains of a large Ichthyosaur from the Lower Jurassic of the Atacama Desert have been described. The fossils although fragmented, consist of dentary and rostrum remains and at least 11 teeth. The remains are assigned to Temnodontosaurus sp due to the similarities. It is the first marine macropredator in the Lower Jurassic of Northern Chile and the first example of the genus in the southern hemisphere Otero, R., Sepulveda, P. 2020 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089598111930519X#sec6-

Hello gang, As promised this is where I will share specimens from my personal collection, my grandfather's collection, and the collection that was donated to the university I work for. The latter is interesting as it is literally boxes of rock and fossils, with no information and my university does not have a geology or paleontology department. I'll be updating it every so often. Enjoy! NOTE: Some of the donated items have old school "labels" on them. If you see initials or such that you recognize, please PM me, as I am doing my best to properly catalog them properly as part of my job!

A nice upper shark tooth from the six-gill cow shark, from Chile. Possibly from a male. One cusp is missing (far right in first photo).

Hi all, I have here a six-gill cow shark tooth (Hexanchus) from the Atacama desert. I do have a few questions about it: What is the species name? What position in the jaw is it? Exactly how old is it? (I'd like this to be as precise as possible; if you could tell me the precise stage it would be perfect!) Thanks for the help! Max

I just acquired this, and was wondering the species and or common name for the animal that it belonged to. It is a partial maxilla with 3 teeth... The bone is very solid, feels fossilized, and goes tic-tic-tic against metal... Not thunk-thunk-thunk as a modern bone would. This item was stated to have been from the Pleistocene of Chile... Thank you. -Bill H. P.S. - I will post more pictures in the next two comments...
