Shamalama Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hi all, I'm sorting through a bag of fossil shark teeth that I bought several years ago and labelled as coming from the Belgrade Quarry near Maysville, in North Carolina. Most I can ID based on pics I've seen on this forum but these few are proving more difficult. I think I have them down to Carcharocles angustidens based on image searches on Google. Am I correct, and are they indeed known to come from this quarry? If so, would they have been found in the Belgrade/River Bend formations? Front and back of each tooth shown below. Thanks, Dave -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave.
