Hastalis Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Hello, I have found this tooth last year in Lučenec region, southern Slovakia. Age: lower Miocene/Eggenburgian (Central Paratethys). Scale is in cm. It looks like Isurus retroflexus tooth, but I want to be 100% about it. If it is the one, I can finaly add the first of this kind to my collection. Thank you in advance.

old bones Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I am not the person to ID a shark tooth, but I just wanted to say these are great photos! Someone who is better versed in shark teeth will be along to help you soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debivort Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Yeah, I'm not especially confident, but it seems plausible to me. The weak cusplets rule out other possibilities like lower lateral hastalis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I would say so, yes. Thank you for posting closeup photos of high quality from all angles needed for an ID. Makes an identification much easier. 1 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' George Santayana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
