SawTooth Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Found these in a creek in south east Alabama over a year ago, I was looking at them and noticed these look a bit different from the normal sand tiger teeth, any ideas? Thanks!(sorry I see the pictures don't look great, I'm in a bit of a rush) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Do you know the age? They look like Cretolamna. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawTooth Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 I'm sorry, but I do not know the exact age, all I can say is that they were from a location around Daleville Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 That part of Alabama is Eocene. The first tooth looks similar to what Cappetta and Case called Cretolamna sp., but Ebersole, Cicimurri and Stringer preferred to call Otodus(Otodus) for these Eocene teeth from Alabama. Would need some measurements to ID the other teeth but could be Brachycarcharias or Tethylamna. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawTooth Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 None of these teeth are longer than a cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I thought these were Serratolamna koerti, but this taxonomy seemed simpler back then. 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
