Hey been busy collecting teeth! I have refined my Obliquus set a bit. And tried to put together a couple of Serratolamna ascheroni sets as well. Any feedback, critique or advice on more references or other examples would be welcome.

Good evening I just now found this tooth so I begin digging around and have discovered the maxilla in the mandible including a whole bunch of teeth! But they are falling apart! I have pieces parts of everything else besides this one tooth! Does anybody happen to know what animal would have A tooth like this?

Hi all, so here I am in quest to finally purchase a meg tooth. I am searching for a long time and now I have decided to get a set from 1inch to 6 inch (1each) for my collection. I just can't decide and pull the trigger that's why I am asking for help. I will like to hear your opinion before I make the purchase. Here is the set I am interested in, on smaller teeth I have decided already but the 6 inch there are some options still. The first is exactly 6 inch dark tooth second 6.24 inch and there is the last one 6.10 inch which I love as well. Any opinion and advice will be appreciated. Thanks

Here's a treat for the troops. These have been hidden from public and scientific view since they were acquired from the finder. I purchased them from a civil war relic hunter and collector, who claimed to have these found together, but he wouldn't divulge exactly where. I suspect coastal Charleston, north to possibly southern NC, based upon his distance of travel from the sale, which was the old Civil War Museum, located in downtown Myrtle Beach - Mid 90's.(A friend who worked there, alerted me of the seller's presence.) The owner also collected fossils and displayed these, so it was known as a place of trade and sale for both artifacts and fossils. When I first saw them, I immediately recognized the possibility that they were a pair, and likely land finds, but what I didn't expect to discover, was their curious potential axial relationship. Published relative axial ratios of known or suspected associated sets reveal similar math to what I've found in these Both appear to be from the same side of the jaw, which makes a reasonable argument for how they may have literally, come together in the first place. I've managed to contact one nationally recognized expert who seems intrigued. Unfortunately, there's probably no DNA remaining, but if you've ever watched Forensic Files on TV, more than just DNA is often used to establish beyond a reasonable doubt. I think this is also a good time for a poll, recognizing of course that you can't see these in person.
