Tidgy's Dad Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Nope, but one of our shark specialists will be along in a bit, I expect. I would change the title to "Shark Tooth found in Victoria, Australia", myself. Might attract their attention quicker. Edited October 29, 2021 by Tidgy's Dad 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Paleoworld-101 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Cool find. It would help if we could narrow down which geological formation it comes from (and therefore the age). The Glenelg runs for some distance, whereabouts on the river was it? There are Miocene-Pliocene shark teeth not too far away near Hamilton, i would suspect this tooth is a similar age, but more precise location info would be needed to narrow it down. If i had to make a guess for species, possibly Isurus desori based on the suspected age and relatively large size/narrow form. 1 2 "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
