njcreekhunter Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 A few days ago I took a trip to an Eocene/Miocene site in New Jersey with a friend. It was going be a quick trip so we weren't expecting very much. Not long after we started digging my friend scored a nearly complete Otodus aksuaticus. A little while later when I lifted my shovel out of the water I saw a big tooth fully exposed on my shovel. I instantly knew it was one of my biggest Otodus auriculatus teeth from NJ. This tooth measures 2 11/16 as it is and would've been over 3 inches if complete. It is my second largest auriculatus tooth from New Jersey. Despite not expecting too much, this trip ended up being a great one. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
