Meganeura Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) You're able to put multiple photos in the same post, btw - no need to make multiples. Okay so still thinking 11 is an Angustidens here. 18-21, 25, 27-29, 32, 34, 36, 37, and 40 are Carcharhinus. 12 is definitely a Great White. 22 and 33 are Great Whites. 23 and 24 are Makos. 26 and 30 are Sand Tigers 31, 35, and 38 are Lemon sharks, And 39 is another tiger.

Fin Lover Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) 23 - I would have said hastalis. Still looking at the others. These young people answer too quickly. Edit: I thought it listed 23 as great white but now is says 33. Edited January 22 by Fin Lover 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There are a few that I wouldn't have been confident in answering based on their condition, but I could agree with all of these. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fin Lover Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Ok, I'll go then: Sand tigers: 41, 43, 44, 45, 56, 59, 63 (not confident on some of the broken ones). Edited January 22 by Fin Lover 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Lover Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Carcharhinus: 46, 47, 48, 49, 51, 52, 70, 77 (I probably missed some). I'll let someone else finish and correct me where I'm wrong. Edited January 22 by Fin Lover 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It is in the great white (Carcharodon) lineage.

Then you should educate the people that you know that they are not makos. We are a scientific forum and should use the correct terminology when asked to ID a tooth.

MarcoSr Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 minute ago, Meganeura said: They're both called Great Whites then? C. Hastalis and C. Carcharias? Enough. How many different Isurus species (now under deferent genera) were called Makos at one time? I can name at least 3. Fortunately scientists figured out they were NOT Makos. Another reason to use the scientific names for shark teeth and not the common names. Shark common names vary all over the world. Marco Sr. Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't sure if there was a specific common name. I'm sorry that my tone came off as aggressive - it really wasn't meant to be. Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Lover Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I typically just hear them called hastalis...no common name. Link to post Share on other sites
