ChristopherWay Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hello! I’ve been a shark tooth hunter for several years now and have tried to find places around the South to keep my mind going and I found a newer spot for me in Andalusia, AL. And along the way I have found a few teeth styles I haven’t seen before and was looking for any kind of help identifying. Thanks so much for any help! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Welcome to the Forum. I cannot help with ID other than to say some of these look like symphyseal or parasymphyseal teeth. @MarcoSr @Al Dente @sixgill pete Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

FossilDAWG Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I'm thinking nurse shark, Nebrius, for the first one. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Some neat looking teeth there. I’m not that great at shark teeth ID, especially without scale and more importantly some age indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 These are Orectolobus ziegenhimei. A good reference for your teeth is “Taxonomy and biostratigraphy of the elasmobranchs and bony fishes of the lower to middle Eocene Claiborne Group in Alabama, USA, including an analysis of otoliths” by Ebersole, Cicimurri, and Stringer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
