KingSepron Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Me and my friends are convinced this isn’t a sand shark tooth. But we can’t agree on what it is, between Cretolamna and Otodus (of course it could be neither, we are idiots) Edited January 1, 2020 by KingSepron I got something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Looks like it might an Otodus. But I could be wrong Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I agree it is a small Otodus from Moracco I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 It's not a sand shark because one of those of any species would have a clear nutrient groove. The photo is a little dark and it would be great to get a photo from the other side and a profile view, but it's an Otodus. It has a definite bourlette, that lighter-colored half-moon shaped area at the base of the crown, which Cretalamna doesn't have. It's hard to say from the photo but it also might have a distinct lingual protuberance on the root, that being a curved outgrowth of the root. That is something you see in Otodus while Cretalamna has a relatively flatter root surface there. Jess 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
