Serack Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serack Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light and other factors contribute to altering the appearence of teeth. so really that matrix was preventing the tooth from loosing its original color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
