Here's one of my favourite, pathological otodus teeth. 3 1/2" and completely unrepaired.

Welcome to the forum Ari, and those are some real jaw-droppers. While I don't believe I've ever won one of your teeth (maybe 1???) I have admired them on ebay for a while.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

1) Not the biggest, but a pretty much flawless Peruvian Isurus hastalis. What I love about this tooth is that it has a feel more like glass than rock, the only tooth I have that I can say that about

2) Paraisurus macrorhiza. Try finding another of these for sale, with a complete, unrepaired root, anywhere on the net. One of my rarest teeth

Lots of others in my gallery, but these 2 are at the top of the heap

isnt THobern's tooth a Paraisurus?

JimB88,

No, it is an Otodus and almost certainly from the Early Eocene of Morocco (Late Paleocene at the oldest).. Paraisurus has an unusually-large lingual protuberance relative to its size which that tooth does not have (though a profile view would show this more clearly) and it seems to have died out sometime in the early part of the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian). That tooth is also about twice the size of a very large Paraisurus..

Jess.

All great stuff so far, thanks!

NS, you reminded me of my favorite Peruvian Mako, not a giant either at 2.5", but like yours, the enamel seems more like colored glass, it's almost like gem agate, just incredible color and enamel, a friend found it while on business in Peru a few years back, and we traded for it, I think he paid some guy on the side of the road like 3 bucks for it.

Could those be rudimentory serrations along the edges?
