DPS Ammonite Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Nice tooth. Was it found near Sherman, Texas? A slight aside. Does anyone know how big the largest fossil shark tooth is that was found in Texas? I heard that the largest tooth was found in the Eagle Ford/ Atco contact west of Sherman, Texas. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

John S. Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Just south of Sherman. Atco does seem to produce monsters. I’d like to know the biggest as well. This is my biggest so far. 8 North Central Texas Eagle Ford Group / Ozan Formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Awesome tooth!

HemiHunter Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Humongous tooth. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 John S., You find some great stuff. That one looks like it has some weight to it. What is that, 2 - 2 1/4 inches? The cusplets have a little constriction to them with one of them having an especially distinct tip. You should add your photos to the Cretodus thread started years ago.
