bthemoose Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I'm looking for photos or good illustrations of dentitions from a few different sharks from the Paleocene and Eocene to help improve my recognition and to learn better how their teeth varied across the jaw. These could be natural/associated sets or artificial/constructed ones. The sharks I'm looking for are: Jaekelotodus robustus Palaeohypotodus rutoti Brachycarcharias lerichei Isurolamna inflata Can anyone point me toward resources for any of these? If you know of dentitions from different species within these genera, those would be helpful as well. Thanks!

Hi there, Elasmo has a decent set online for Brachycarcharias Artificial set: Brachycarcharias lerichei http://www.elasmo.com/frameMe.html?file=genera/cenozoic/sharks/brachycarcharias.html&menu=bin/menu_genera-alt.html Cheers, Brett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthemoose Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Thanks @Brett Breakin' Rocks! I was looking at the separate fossil tooth sets section of the site and forgot to check out the genera pages. I wish they had the lingual faces shown too, but that is a very helpful image.

David Ward might have "puzzles" he's working on. Gordon Hubbell has a partial dentition of J. trigonalis but it's a weird one (probably because it happens to be from an aged individual) proving that there's a lot of variation in species. Look at the examples on elasmo and check other sites for rarer jaw positions. Jess Jess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
