Post your best shark teeth finds of 2020

[siteseer]

A lot of great teeth are being shown.  That giant Cretodus is an incredible find - once in a lifetime for some people.  Jesse's STH meg is special too.  I did some digging out there in the 90's and 2000's and found just pieces of that species.

 

I didn't find a tooth last year - collected just once in the late Miocene were mollusks and crabs are found.

There are sites for Late Cretaceous shark teeth where the Mancos Shale (Hotchkiss area?) and Juana Lopez Member of the Carlile Shale (somewhere around Pueblo) are exposed - probably a couple of other formations too.  I've seen the teeth.

Ya, Ive heard shark teeth have been found here but its not the same as walking on the beach and finding a few shark teeth like on the east coast.

Great colors too! Colorado is about as far away as you get from an ocean in the US (At least in the holocene) so I need to see all these amazing shark teeth. Wonderful sizes, colors, shapes, and species from all of these

I know I'm lightyears late to this, but SE Colorado certainly has good Cretaceous shark tooth localities, spilling over from Kansas

Ya, eastern Colorado has some Cretaceous exposures that contain shark teeth from the western interior seaway. There's even places in the mountains with Pennsylvanian petalodus teeth. Just haven't looked yet.
