Northern Sharks Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Those are some nice teeth. We don't see many French megalodons on this side of the ocean. Those are the first ones I've ever seen except in a book.

Rfossile Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 Although one finds some of them they are seldom as large as those of the United States Some remainders of Goniopholis sp., a crocodile of Berriasien, Cretaceous lower, of Charente Teeth Scutes Vertebrae Romain http://www.ouest-paleo.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofossil Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Thanks! Those are great. It's a real treat to see fossils from groups that are similar to what we find but of a different age. It helps to give perspective to the evolution and diverse populations. I really like your crocodilia specimens. The crocodile teeth we find in Late Cretaceous deposits are smoother and lack or only have very faint vertical lines. The scutes are almost the same as in your photo.

jbstedman Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I love seeing many of the same teeth that I collect from Miocene deposits in the US (eastern seaboard) being collected in France. Besides fossils, I collect roadcuts, Stream beds, Winter beaches: Places of pilgrimage. Jasper Burns, Fossil Dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
