Roz Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I really like pathological or deformed teeth for some reason, and those both are cool looking. The only one I thought might be deformed, I found out, might not be but some kind of deposit on it.... disappointing Will have to keep looking.. Welcome to the forum!

Roz Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hey, bmorefossil, that is true. I posted mine on here somewhere on a past post, but hard to see because the tooth is so dark. I am going to get better pic and then post.... Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bmorefossil Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 here are a few of the larger deformed teeth, also i have a odd tiger shark tooth where the root comes over the back of the tooth, does anyone know what this is, i have a few like this but the color on this one is great.

eddie Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Cool teeth! Here are some patho teeth I have: 1) Split tip Carcharinus tooth. Found this one myself walking out of the mine after a lousy day of collecting. 2) Another split tip Carcharinus tooth (dusky or bull). 3) Weird little Isurus. 4) Late ric/early angy from NC river. Flattened root, odd bend and serrations on one edge not developed due to pathology. 5) Florida auriculatus, severely bent blade tip. Deformed megs in next post...

eddie Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Deformed megs: 1) I call this the "pancake tooth." Very strange tooth, it's 4" long and very wide. 2) 3" meg, greenish/red and wavy/stunted blade. Let's see some more deformed teeth! Thanks, Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bmorefossil Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 i think the one where the tip goes straight left is cool looking, the first meg is also very interesting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Here are a few of mine: An Auriculatus from VA. Very narrow with 1 cusp that never formed and neither did serrations near it. Second is a split tip C egertoni(?) and finally is my most grotesque Otodus. This thing, other than the obvious, has several tiny tips all over the end of it. It also has that big growth on the root just for icing on the cake. Eddie, that first contortus split tip is AMAZING.

I don't think that modern tiger shark tooth (the one on the left) is deformed. It looks like an anterior tooth to me. I have one just like it. Thanks for the pics!

I was a little iffy about that one too, but I wasn't sure. The one on the right though is a really nice one. It has something of the sort like a deep groove in the root. That might be from a fishing hook, but who knows? *****Update***** I just looked over the one on the left, and it has some abnormal serrations and growths on the blade, so I'm not sure. eddie, does your tooth have any growths on the blade?

I was tempted to tell him it was broken and he should let me have it. Just kidding, I told him to put that somewhere very safe! That's a neat auriculatus. It's interesting how the serration development is affected by some of these deformities. And that Otodus is like the Elephant Man of shark teeth!

Possibly a fishing hook, feeding damage, biting on another tooth... could be anything. Tiger sharks eat all sorts of hard stuff! I don't see any abnormal serrations/growths on my anterior tooth, here are some pics. Neat teeth you have, btw, whether they are "abnormal" or not!

Ramo Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Here is my only one. I think it's deformed, it's the only one I have ever found like it. (My pictures look like poo compared to others on here.

Auspex Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Some of the teeth on this thread are beyond deformed; they're deranged!
