ok well heres one for you shark tooth nerds Isurus hastilis (Agassiz, 1843). Early Pliocene (Kalimnan?). Loxton Sands Formation.....Ramco near Waikerie, South Australia. NOTE: this sharktooth isnt in my collection anymore, its in PaleoRons.....i think it measures just under 1inch....anyway enjoy!

Hey Kauffy, I actually like material from odd locations a lot. It's usually difficult to obtain, making it unusual in a usual sort of way.

Add me to that list also. I especially enjoy (appreciate) material from the out-of-the-way locations.

And let's not forget the red-heads

[isurus90064]

FS: not really, we just have a lot of blondes in California.

Northern: Beautiful red teeth! Also, the Oldcurch look exceptional.

Absolutely beautiful megs. :o :o

Thank you Sharktoothguy!

[fossilselachian]

And let's not forget the red-heads

Northern:

I real impressed with those "red heads"! Very nice.

So what does that make the blue Lee Creekers? ... blue-haired babes ...

[fossilselachian]

Here are two of my favorite Sharktooth Hill specimens. The smaller of the two is mainly root with a small amount of crown.

NICE! very nice STH examples. That small one is really small, haven't seen many of those .. I love seeing other people's STH material.

I see how you collect, you trained your dog and the beach chair didn't make it into the pic did it?!

Neither did the blond bombshell or the beer! OK, Ok - at least I had a beer

[fossilselachian]

Here is a small Great White from Australia

[eddie]

So what does that make the blue Lee Creekers? ... blue-haired babes ...

Here are a few blues:

1) I. planus 1 5/8", hint of a side cusp?

2) Huge, robust I. planus 2", more blue in person.

3) Blue "Lee Creeker"

Those are some nice Bakersfield megs and makos, guys. I don't have any Bakersfield megs, so if you feel sorry for me, feel free to send me one or two.

Thanks,

Eddie

Eddie:

That is one really great "blue" Lee Creek meg!!

[fossilselachian]

Here are a few additional Sharktooth Hill megs. The crown of the last tooth is bone white. With the exception of a slightly "dirty root" this tooth has acquired essentially no coloration over the years.
