I received the final piece needed for my Megalodon evolutionary set today! The hardest tooth to obtain by far was the Carcharocles mugodzharicus, and I would like to thank @MarcoSr for his help with that search as well as the generosity with which he shared knowledge about it.

 

I'll mention that I acknowledge the various debates around species naming and went with the ones I believed to be the best fit. I kindly request that we not get into it on this thread.

I've been wanting to make something like this too, and for the great white lineage as well. Very cool display!:meg:

Thank you! Great White lineage would be really cool too :D

oh that is so cool how you can see the little side "spikes" (not sure of the proper name) disappear over the course of the evolution! 

I thought that was neat as well! I'm not a shark tooth guy either, but I think those side "spikes" are called cusplets. Someone may come by and tell me I'm wrong though. It's been known to happen. Lol

Yes, they can be called "cusplets" or "side cusps."

Great evolutionary set! They display really nicely together.

Nice display.  Not many collectors at all have one like yours.

 

Marco Sr.

Thank you both kindly :)

Nice!!! I’m trying to do that too(for right now just meg, angy, auriculatus, Chubutensis, otodus, and appendiculata, but hopefully in the future I can get the sub species!) all I’ve got left is Auriculatus.

Almost there, post that set when you have it! I would still want an Aksuaticus, but it'll wait until I find one at a bargain because that Mugodzharicus dented my wallet something hard :heartylaugh:

Thank you, I was happy to find these given the gorgeous dark orange coloration!
