Eddie: nice hemi! great little makos.

FS: I coul turn that hemi into a 2 incher.

:-)

Marcel:

I know you could!!

I'm still awaiting terms - I've got a drawer full of G/W's ready to rack

FS

Hey Marcel:

Wonderful teeth attached in those five posts The G/W from Japan is most unusual- the roots are usually missing.

Re the Broad River. This river seems to get minimal attention from the divers. However, the river and some of it's tribs

can produce some colorful teeth as shown by your posts. I really enjoy seeing these (all) teeth.

I've got some Makos from the area which I'll dig out and post soon.

would love to see your makos from there. btw here's an example of stretching gone wrong .. :-)

You forgot to use the "symmetrical setting" on the "rack" for this one

[Northern Sharks]

Marcel: If you could add a couple of inches to each of these, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Hey Northern ... nice BV GW (if anybody were to follow this thread they'd be completely lost in the acronyms. I love that blotchy peruvian as well.

FS ... you are absolutely correct, the symmetry switch was off, although I like getting creative from time to time ... that's how I get to my nicest pathologicals ..

Marcel aka "stretch"

I think I see a market opportunity here!

Nice teeth everyone. BTW, no need to stretch my little teeth, I like the baby teeth. Here are a couple more

unusual makos:

1) Very wide Lee Creek tooth. Not quit as monstrous as the other one, but it's 2 1/16" wide. (2 5/8" max slant length.)

2) 3 1/16" black mako (Georgia river I think)

3) 2 1/2" Peruvian. Neat "leopard spots" on the flat side.

4) Pictures didn't do this one justice, it's a really neat wide triangle shape. 2 3/8", and nice wavy blue color on

flat side. It's also really compressed/flat. I assume this is an anterior (upper), but the few constructed dentitions

I've seen don't have any compressed teeth like this.

Thanks,

Eddie

Man you have some awesome dental work there. How much money have you got tied up in all these things?

Hey Anson, is that for Eddie or for me :-)? In case it's my wife she'd say "WAAAAAAY too much" ..

[isurus90064]

Eddie: absolutely gorgeous teeth!! That peruvian, and then that Georgia 3 incher plus ....

If it's for me, I'd give the same answer, except my wife would sprinkle some expletives in there!
