historianmichael Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I have been working on reorganizing my collection the last few days. Today it was looking through my finds from my trip to Aurora, NC many years ago. I was able to identify everything except these 6 teeth. I understand they are not the best examples, but since it was my only chance to visit I kept everything that I found. Any help is greatly appreciated. #1 - maybe Carcharodon hastalis? #2 - maybe Carcharias sp.? - there is a little wide cusplet next to the crown Follow me on Instagram (@fossil_mike) to check out my personal collection of fossils collected and acquired over more than 15 years of fossil hunting!

historianmichael Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 #3 - maybe Carcharias sp.? #4 - maybe Carcharias sp.? #5 - maybe Isurus oxyrinchus? I initially thought Carcharias sp. but there is a real bend to the crown that is different from the others Follow me on Instagram (@fossil_mike) to check out my personal collection of fossils collected and acquired over more than 15 years of fossil hunting!

D.N.FossilmanLithuania Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The wider teeth are from Isurus but narrow sharp teeth look like they are from sand tiger shark (e.g. Odontaspis, Hypotodus etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnbuckeye Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 @Nimravis just provided this in a current post. I stole it from his thread. Not sure if it is beneficial or not. Mike avis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
