I received some matrix from @sixgill pete a while back in a TFF auction and picked most of it a while back and ID'd the bulk of the teeth and other material. Lately I have been going back through some of my sharks teeth and looking more closely at items I was unsure of These three teeth are one such group out of this matrix. I have read Purdy et, al (2001) a bunch of times, looked at elasmo.com for hours on end, read dozens of threads on here and am still a bit confused/uncertain. So, I figured why no just ask and get several more opinions, I always appreciate what folks here have to offer

Well over a decade ago I found a Hexanchus shark tooth in matrix in the Monterey Formation in California. It passed through many hands later, eventually ending up with Doug Donald. I think it sold in the auction of his collection when he passed away. Anyone know who has it now?

Another Amazing Hexanchus agassizi from the North Carolina Eocene
sixgill pete posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Well my little Eocene Castle Hayne Formation pit has coughed up another amazing Hexanchus agassizi tooth. That is 3 very nice rooted ones in about 4 months. Here it is. I also found this really nice Macrorhyzodus americana the same day Here is a sampling of other teeth and such from there. These are not from the same day, I have not cleaned the rest of the finds from that day yet.- 7 replies

We recently got some great STH Hexanchus teeth from @JBMugu and he was kind enough to send us some great micro matrix. I always enjoy searching for micro shark teeth and the STH material usually provides quite a few surprises. This batch was no exception. I have only searched about about half of the matrix but so far it has given us some really cool shark fossils. I found a few Hexanchus teeth which included a tiny lower (pic 1) and a few commisural teeth. In our previous searches, we found a total of 1 partial Hammerhead tooth. This matrix was, comparatively speaking

3cm. at the base. Miocene Found at Sharktooth Hill, Kern County, California Thanks to Tony (ynot) for this one. -
I have found several smaller fragments before, but never an intact one. This one turned up at the end of a very long day and I fortunately spotted it as my son was shoveling matrix into the sifting table. I startled him mid-shovel by shouting "STOP!" when I saw a row of white points sticking out of some matrix. Son was just about to throw another shovelful on top of it. Nice reflexes by him to change course mid-air to avoid me (now shielding the tooth with my body - LOL). Worth it. :-) Definitely had potential but I didn't know how much root was going to remain. After some careful

STH Shark Teeth for Non STH Shark Teeth
fossilsonwheels posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
We know that fossils are not the priority for people at the moment. They are not for us either but I have found a good amount of stress relief in going through a large donation we got. The material is all from STH and we have enough to make a trade. It was part of the donation actually. Extra fossils for sale or for trade to improve our collection. I would like to avoid sales or doing smaller trades just for shipping reasons so I decided to put the trade stuff out as one lot. Given the current state of the world, consider this a post corona virus trade offer. We would probably not ship fo -
Yesterday, I got back from a family vacation to California. While there, I was able to spend two days digging at the Ernst Quarries. The weather was beautiful and the teeth were plentiful! Carcharodon planus hiding in the rock.

From the album: Eocene vertebrates of Ukraine
8 years of collecting in that area, and finally a cowshark symphyseal -
Hello, Found this interesting tooth in Bakersfield, in the Round Mountain Silt formation on Dec 24, 2017. To me it looks like a pathological upper tooth from a cow shark (hexanchus). There seems to be a very small inclusion on the side of the tooth (second photo), but hard to say if it was there when the shark lost it. The tooth is about the size of an American penny coin. Any validating comments or ideas are appreciated.

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
