cthamon Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Found in a land spot not too far from North Charleston. Only chunks but I’m still happy with them. Wondering if this is a meg tooth or another shark, also wondering if it’s possible age based on size. Serration on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthamon Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Then wondering if it’s possible to narrow down the squalodon species based on the other tooth. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! Quote Squalodon is an extinct genus of whales endemic to Oligocene to Miocene. The family Megalodon belongs to is Carcharocles , although there are lots of different opinions on that... In the Peace River, SW Florida, , I found this Megalodon tooth. Strange and irregular sized serrations. We have decided that these are regressive genes. We do not have Angys, Rics, or Chubs 2 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The first one looks like a Megalodon fragment to me. The second one isn't a Squaladon but a fragment of a shark tooth... I don't know the right species of those locations but based in the little cusp the tooth have, something like Chubutensis...Angustidens... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 First tooth is a broken meg. Second is a small broken corner of an angustidens. Not sure where you got squalodon from, but it is an early whale not a shark. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
