Hi,

Isurus, you are going to say that I annoy you, but that means "C." for C. sokolovi ? I try to get acquainted with names (integers)... This species and this tooth is marvelous !

Not at all annoying and I apologize for assuming.

C. sokolovi is Carcharocles sokolovi. This form fits into the Carcharocles lineage just like auriculatus, angustidens, chubutensis, and megalodon. It is more important to recognize that it is Carcharocles than it is sokolovi.

Well...my teeth are definitely more fitting to this topic's title in that they are extraordinarily common (not the best condition)...UNLIKE so many on this thread! I won't complain, though-at least I have SOMETHING.

Mainly posting these in the hopes that I can learn more about them (I posted them on another thread, but as you guys seem to be shark teeth experts, I hope I can learn a few things about them). I know next to nothing with shark teeth, so I hope this will be a learning opportunity as to rarity, species information, etc.

cf. parasympheseal megalodon tooth. Even though this is not considered a conventional position in O. megalodon, it seems that on very rare occasions it does occur in the Otodus lineage.

Not sure of the identity of this little tooth. Maybe a Mobula loupianensis.

It is from the Round mountain silt.

scale is millimeters.
