CrumpRocks Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I found these fossils in the peace river last summer and was going through them again today, but I cannot figure out what species these fossils come from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 The teeth are Carcharhinus, maybe bull or dusky, but I don't usually try to tell them apart. @hemipristis is the only one I know of that can distinguish between all of the Carcharhinus species. 2 1 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.
