Man I’d be ecstatic to find any of these.

Wow those Carboniferous shark teeth are fantastic!

All the other finds are really great too, I am just not as familiar with those animals

We do really have quite the spectacular diversity of chondrichthyan teeth this month.

 

 

 

Cheers.

Nobody is.

Well, aquatic reptile.

All those teeth remind me I need to get out to the beach and sift some sand, when I’m freed from quarantine!

All those teeth make me think of what an odd composite shark we could make of them.

 

 

Cheers.

I know a couple of chaps who'd be happy to help.

They have yet to find a jaw full of Petalodus teeth or a fossilized body. So far, only known from the teeth. Others in the Family have though.
