AJ the Tyrant Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I’m looking into this wonderful 5.59” Cuban tooth, but I’m having a hard time figuring out if it’s a meg or chub. It has cusps, but they’re minimal and not very obvious. Seller says it dates from early to middle Miocene, though that’s not very helpful in identifying this tooth. I’m thinking chub due to the cusps existing, but I’d like to gather more opinions on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Hi, i would say you're right according to the descriptions i found about Chubutensis, but i'm not expert so i'll call for : @sharkdoctor and @Darktooth.

Troodon Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Megatoothed teeth are described by the age of deposit they are collected from. Cuban deposits that find Megatoothed teeth are around mid miocene. So I would call this C. megalodon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
