lower symphyseal Otodus obliquus tooth from the Eocene of Virginia
MarcoSr posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I just found this 17mm tooth today (see the below pictures) in matrix that I collected from the Eocene, Nanjemoy Formation, of Virginia awhile back. I thought that the tooth was an Otodus obliquus symphyseal tooth and sent a PM to Lutz Andres to get his opinion of the tooth. He responded back: “Hi, it's a lower symphyseal Otodus or Parotodus, and 17 mm is a bit large for Parotodus.” Because of the 17mm size and the fact that Parotodus is not reported from this Formation, I’m going with the Otodus ID. I have a number of Otodus obliquus symphyseals from Morocco but this is the first one that I have personally collected from Virginia. My friend Mike F. has collected two Otodus obliquus symphyseals from the same formation. Marco Sr.- 15 replies

First official post! Drove to Nanjemoy with my wife to shark tooth hunt for the day. Wewere the only people there when we arrived, usually it can be pretty packed with cars. Usually we find a lot of smaller teeth and a somewhat longer sand tigers. We found two of the otodus up at the high tide line within 15 minutes of each other after walking down the beach and were both really shocked and excited. Decided to stop and eat lunch and that’s when I found the biggest and by far the biggest we have ever found and in such great condition. Only the tip of the tooth was sticking out when I spotted it.

This is what I believe to be an Otodus but I've never heard of one from Southeast Alabama. It was found where the Lisbon and Tallahatta formations run together in SE Al. The guy that found it was simply playing at a waterfall with his kids and this popped out of the sand...it's his 1st tooth so he was very ecstatic and proudly brought it in to my office asking what it was. It's right at 2-1/2" long and 1-1/4" wide...no serrations and only has one cusp. Am I missing some other possibility or is it an Otodus? As always, any comments are appreciated!

3.2 inch Otodus obliquus from Morocco. I know what you may be thinking, can he not read the caliper. Actually, I was paying more attention to the camera settings that properly measuring the tooth in this photo. If you notice, I am doing a poor job of measuring the largest slant length in the photo...duh! The longest side is actully the one opposite to the side being measured. I noticed this and remeasured to confirm that the tooth is 3.2 inches on the longest slant and 3.0 inches on the shorter slant which is shown in the photo. -
