Fossil_finder_ Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I found both of these on the Potomac in a unique site with Paleocene Eocene AND Miocene exposures. I was not able to identify them, does anyone know what they could be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoNoel Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 My guess would be Otodus or Jaekelotodus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkdoctor Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I would venture that they are Palaeohypotodus rutoti ( WINKELR, 1874) . See the Nanjemoy fauna on elasmo.com. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil_finder_ Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 @sharkdoctor I looked up the tooth and was confused at first because my tooth only has 2 cusps. But when I looked REALLY closely on one of the cusps there was a very small second one to the side of the first one. It looks like I have a match Thank you!
