What means "S." in "S. texanus" ?

 

The first time you quote a Latin species in a text, you have to indicate the whole genre ! Otherwise only the teeth specialists know what you're talking about. Once you have quoted the full name, you can then abbreviate the genre name

Scapanorynchus.

 

Sorry thought since they are really common figured everyone knew. I have a lateral on pg 53 but to people that don’t know the species it looks like 2 different teeth.

carcharodon hastalis with nice coloring and cusps. I'm new to this thread so I hope this is appropriate. I haven't seen them with cusps before, is about 1 inch. Matoaka Beach, Choptank formation.

Quite appropriate and thanks for posting. Can't say I personally have found a C. hastalis with cusps. Nice find.

Thank you very much. I was quite excited when I came across it in the surf. That is why it has been elevated to the rank of profile photo

Galeocerdo Aduncus, Cove Point Beach, Calvert formation.

Hemipristus Serra, Matoaka Beach, Choptank form.

Some sort of carcharinhid, maybe silky or bronze whaler, Matoaka Beach, Choptank Form.

That's all for now apart from my unknown thresher.

C. Megalodon from the “bluesite” of South Carolina. From what little I’ve heard of this location I heard it became a retention pond to something. Maybe some one knows more than this.

Nice teeth!

The color and tooth would show better if You use a solid colored background that is a different color, rather than a patterned one that has a similar color to the fossil.

I use white or black - dependent on the color of the fossil.

The formation is actually the Round Mountain Silt.  Nearly all geologists/paleontologists stopped using "Temblor" decades ago but because some specimens still have labels that old, the name pops up from time to time.

 

Nice tooth.
