BellamyBlake Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I received a lot of teeth from the Southeastern United States today. I couldn't identify three. While many of these came from Bone Valley, I can't say for certain that these three are from that locality. The only provenance I have to go with is the Southeastern United States. Here are front and back shots for each of the three teeth. The first two are 1/4", while the last one is 1/8". Each has cusps. I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you, Bellamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I'm going yo say Eocene in age, My tentative IDs: Cretolamna sp. Otodus obliquus Otodus obliquus Location? Nothing discerning to me. Alabama all the way up to Maryland could be possible 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

PaleoNoel Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 We'd definitely need location info to discern the ID for these teeth, but they are similar to teeth from the Cretaceous lamniforms Archaeolamna and Cretolamna which I've found in New Jersey and North Carolina. Depending on the location I suppose Otodus could be a possibility, but I personally don't see it, especially given the size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As teeth from various localities got mixed up, I'll just leave them as indeterminate; I was simply curious as to what they could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
