Teeth In Matrix

Recommended Posts

I've only found 2 or 3 teeth in matrix, so I was very pleased when I picked this up (literally) last week.

It has 3 visible shark teeth and 1 busted up ray tooth

Those are pretty cool. Do you plan to leave as is then?

yah but then, I wouldn't even know what to do even if I wanted to do some work on it.

one of my 3 whole megs had a bit of matrix stuck to the root and I ended up taking a screw driver and hammer to it... It came off, but the root underneath is still discolored.

here's the other one that I find interesting. I found this one a month ago, it's a Galeocerdo. I'm not always good at identifying tigers farther than that unless it's obvious but I suspect aduncus

edit: Oops forgot to add the pic

well the color under the matrix is really the normal color and has not discolored the tooth. Light and other factors contribute to altering the appearence of teeth. so really that matrix was preventing the tooth from loosing its original color

I love matrix fossils. This sand tiger is from Aurora- Started at over 10lbs of matrix, only one lobe exposed.
