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.

 

I guess all my labels are from old collections then, lol. Majority of what I got came with temblor listed as the formation.

 

Thank you for the clarification. I’ll have to update.

Hi guys sorry I have not posted on this forum for a long long time been fighting illness.

Picked up a bargain priced what I think is a Meg tooth, it measures 5.5" , from the angle of the enamel and root would this of been a tooth that stuck out forwards slightly (more enamel on the back than front), does anyone know whether or not it would be a top or bottom tooth as well, I got a mate to knock up the stand for me.

Will add the rear side in another post due to file size.

This is actually the "front" side of the tooth, the labial side.

Blimey, I always thought the curved side was the outer side of a tooth.

A friend had a load of Otodus Obliquus fossils unprepared in their matrix, this was the best condition of the lot whenn he finished them and is a healthy 3.1", he has some even bigger at nearly 4" still in their matrix but sadly they have cracks running through them, never realised they got this large, anyone have any monster Otodus Obliquus on here ?

Is this a side tooth with it being curved, and is there a way to tell if its upper or lower jaw ?

A friend of mine made the stand for me.

@Woopaul5 I know you like symspheals, check this one out. @Jaimin013 and @caldigger is this appropriate for this thread? Should i move it? If so, where to?

Seems appropriate Galeocerdo is a genus of requiem shark and others have posted pics of their shark teeth! Nice tooth by the way.:dinothumb:

I just worried because symspheals aren't that common.

Amazing wish I could own one in this condition and size! Really nice display too. Hopefully someone will be able to provide you with the information that you have asked!

Your nice tooth fits here just fine.

But there is a thread  (also in members collections) that is devoted to symspheal shark teeth.

Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

 

My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection

My favorite thread on TFF.

This is my latest pick up, what I think is a Carcharodon Plicatilis, also known as, Giant White, Isurus Hastalis Broad Form, Cosmopolitus Hastalis, and Cosmopolitus Xiphodon, one day they will make their minds up :shrug:.

In Portugal it's very rare find Megalodon teeth.

 

Unfortunately the size and the state of conservation are not very good.

 

Over the years I have been finding some.

You might think the conservation isnt that good but they more than make up for it in the beautiful colours and shapes you have, they look like they were shed by the shark weeks ago instead of millions of years like most, nice collection.

Nice collection, I didn't even know that you can find megalodon teeth in Portugal.
