Recommended Posts

Cladodus and Stethacanthus are more typical of modern day shark teeth. As can be seen, the tips are not always present, some destroyed in prep, but many tips severed prior to fossilization. Cladodus possesses a straight shaft while Stethacantus is S shaped.

I never get tired of looking at shark teeth. I can't tell one from the other, but I like looking at them.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

@Mark Kmiecik, at times I feel like this too!!!! After 100 hours processing and then attempting to ID these teeth, my head is just spinning and overloaded. My IDs are definitely questionable, I hope those in the know will let me know my mistakes.
