Uraeus0291 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 This pendant was purchased from a fossil seller in Florida where it was found. Was purchased as an Angustiden, but I am just curious if that ID is correct. To me, the cusps look small and the main body is too wide to be an Angustiden, but I am no expert! Appropriate 2 1/4” in length. Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 This is not an easy question to answer and I am by no means an expert on the subject. This topic can be a help to you hopefully, although you still may not be able to come up with a definite answer, since, as Harry Pristis states in the topic, an exact stratigraphic determination for the tooth would be necessary in order to come to a reliable conclusion. You would therefore need to ask the seller if he might have this information for you. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Uraeus0291 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Thank you! I will ask and see what they say. I know that the Angustiden and Chubutensis are transitional species and it could be anything in between the two of them. Thanks for your insight!

Harry Pristis Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Note that it's spelled "angustidens" -- as a trivial name, it would not be capitalized (as in Carcharocles angustidens or C. chubutensis). Writing informally, as done here, the capitalization just looks odd. 2 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uraeus0291 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Noted! As I said, no expert here, only a fan of proper English and capitalizing nouns ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
