Rare Isurus retroflexus from Gainesville, FL Miocene
ninjameB posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Pulled out this interesting tooth from possum creek. It's been identified as Isurus retroflexus and I'm wondering if anybody here has seen similar examples from Gainesville. I haven't heard of any. Next steps: find a great white, sand tiger, and cow shark tooth!- 4 replies

Me and my girlfriend got the kayaks back out to adventure along the Calvert Cliffs on Saturday; the weather was unseasonably nice, getting up into the low 60s. The nice weather melted last weeks snow so I was hoping the thawing would bring out some nice finds. We launched a little before sunrise and had a beautiful calm kayak journey to the cliffs. As expected with the nice weather, a good number of other hunters started arriving by foot, kayak, and boat. A fellow kayaked snapped an amazing picture from the water of me at the base of the cliff and was kind enough to share it with me. With other hunters arriving I told my girlfriend to start working quickly down the beach, and I’d work slowly and methodically behind everyone else. I took my time, talking to everyone as they passed, giving my girlfriend more time up the beach. I wasn’t finding much walking behind everyone, but I was hopeful I’d find something nice tucked away that people missed. My hopes were realized when I spot a gorgeous 1.56” megalodon sitting in about a foot of water! 5 people must have walked passed it! As I caught up to my girlfriend a lot of the other hunters had turned back so we had some fresh beach ahead of us. She had found a nice 1.48” megalodon, a couple nice hemis and a pretty little retroflexus! Looks like the plan had paid off. We continued to the end of this stretch of beach finding a couple more nice hemis and I got a nice lower hastalis. With the beach being heavily searched the walk back wasn’t very fruitful but my girlfriend did manage to snag a nice mostly complete shark vertebra. It was a crowded day on the beach but it was nice talking to everyone, hearing about past finds and other fossil stories, but most of all it’s just nice to spend a beautiful day outside with family and friends! Till next time y’all, thanks for reading.

I definitely don't want to incorrectly ID something in the CRM. This one has been questioned, so I'd love your thoughts! Thank you!

Hello. I found this tooth about a year and a half ago in the spoil piles outside the Aurora Fossil Museum. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify it? I think it might be a mako tooth (Isurus oxyrinchus?). Also, does anyone know why one side of the root is much smaller than the other? Is that damage? Or maybe due to jaw position? Thanks for your help.

Found between Plum Point and Parker’s Creek. It is an upper anterior. Isurus retroflexus may be conspecific with Isurus paucus. Not found in situ.
