Guest N.AL.hunter Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Very nice Battery Creek specimen with a wicked black spot near the tip. OK, there are a lot of outstanding teeth being shown on this thread, so thanks to everyone who has posted so far. Mexx, I love this one with the black mark on the tip! Really stands out!

insectboy Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Some of these teeth are to die for! and they are huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexx Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The maroccan Ric really is great! There's a huge abscess on the root, probably an onging inflammation was mainly responsible for the deformation, especially whent it happend early during the development of the tooth. A one-of-a-kind specimen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Eaton Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Here are some Cretaceous age Cretodus semiplicatus (if you choose not to lump it in C. crassidens) I have as many or more Cretodus crassidens maybe some bigger, but these guys are a lot harder to find and therefore I like them more. *disclaimer, no semiplicatus were harmed (or touched) by superglue which is there for scale.

siteseer Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 They're not as big as most of these on here, but here are the two favorites of my collection thus far. I'd love to add a nice Meg, but the prices are keeping me away, as there are soooo many other pieces in the same price range that I'm trying to acquire, too. Xiphodolamia ensis from Shark River, NJ. Wow, a North American Xiphodolamia. That is a special tooth. There was an article published last year (Adnet et al, 2009) which reviewed the genus and agreed that the unserrated type species X. ensis should be the sole valid one except for a new serrated species, X serrata, which is described in it. Adnet, S., R. Hosseinzadeh, M.T. Antunes, A.C. Balbino, V.A. Kozlov, and H. Cappetta. 2009. Review of the enigmatic Eocene shark genus Xiphodolamia (Chondrichthyes, Lamniformes) and description of a new species recovered from Angola, Iran, and Jordan.
