A gorgeous tooth from one of my favorite sharks! The enamel isn't polished - the chalk preserves its shine extremely well - it's as shiny as when it fell out of the animal's mouth! -

A beautiful tooth from one of my favorite sharks. This one is extra special because of the self-inflicted bite mark - a gash seen on the left in lingual view. Apparently their bite was strong enough to cut their own teeth! -

One of my favorites - the "ginsu" shark. This one was found at the DFW airport in the 80's. -

Cretoxyrhina mantelli Ginsu shark Niobrara Fm., Gove Co., KS (leftmost 2 teeth) Eagle Ford Group, Sherman, TX (largest tooth) Eagle Ford Group, Dallas, TX (rightmost 2 teeth) A collection of teeth from a formidable Late Cretaceous lamniform shark. This species competed with other sharks and marine reptiles in the Western Interior Seaway ~ 90 Ma. It likely filled a similar niche that the Great White Shark does today. The ginsu was on average larger than the Great White. Oh, it also ate dinosaurs. -

In need of advice for finding shark teeth and vertebrate fossils in shoal creek
Jared C posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hey guys, I live in Round Rock, about 25 minutes north of Austin and I've been dying to find some shark teeth in the area. Recently I found my first shark tooth in Waco, but that hour and a half drive was only induced after many failed attempts locally. As far as I understand, (and if I'm wrong, please correct me!), one's best bet of finding shark teeth (or even mosasaur teeth/verts) locally is in shoal creek in Austin. More specifically, I've heard about shark teeth turning up in Northwest park, which shoal creek runs through. My brother and I have spent long hard hours looking in -
Identification: ginsu teeth have broad lingual dental bands, rounded root lobes, a strong lingual protuberance in the roots of anterior teeth, smooth crown faces, and no nutrient groove. Notes: Has damage on the lingual side, perhaps a self-inflicted gash as the tooth fell out of the mouth. Otherwise, a perfect tooth with a very sharp point.

Closeup of a C. mantelli tooth with unusual wear. I suspect it could be from a tooth in the opposing jaw, or that it may have been bitten in the process of falling out of the mouth during feeding.-
