A Few More Shark Teeth


Ludwigia

Recommended Posts

I visited my favorite shark tooth site just north of the Lake of Constance again recently and just wanted to show off a few finds. If anyone notices that I've made any mistakes with my ids then please let me know.

 

Araloselachus cuspidatus

The next two I would call Carcharodon (Cosmopolotidus) hastalis, although I know that some still lump these under Isurus.

And the next two I've identified as Odontaspis molassica.

Great finds! Love the odontaspis molassica! That’s not a species you see too often! ;)

Thanks. Yes, the name seems to belong almost exclusively to the southern Germans, since it was first described here and is named after the Obere Meeresmolasse (Upper Marine Molasse), a lithological Formation which is exposed here. Apparently it is a synonym to Odontaspis reticulata.
