Fossilsforever Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hi all, A longer time ago I found a thick shark tooth from the Tertiary (about 3 cm long). From the Netherlands. It looks like a Parotodus benedeni tooth (a very thick rooth and thick tooth overall). It looks like the one on this site: LINK Perhaps other opinions?

Al Dente Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 It looks too narrow and there is too much of a curve to be Parotodus. I’m not convinced the tooth in the link is a Parotodus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I agree with @Al Dente. Looks more like a lomgfin mako, Isurus retroflexus (aka I. glaucus) 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' George Santayana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
