Goblin shark tooth jackpot

Had a banner day on the NJ Cretaceous stream beds, sifting through the fallen leaves scanning gravel bars for some impressive Scapanoryhnchus teeth. I swear I found a whole jaw in two hours!

That's a good-looking tooth. Nice find.

That's a goblin tooth also.

Like Jeff said that is also a Goblin. An upper tooth. The ones in your first pic appear to all be lowers.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

The first pic is a bunch of anterior Scapanorhynchus and the single tooth is an upper later which is very nice.

How large is that one? It looks like it’s almost as big as laterals get here.

That's got to be close to 2 inches from tip to root lobe.

Looks more like 1.5, which is really large for NJ.
