Extraordinary Common Teeth

[fossilsonwheels]

Miocene 

Round Mountain Silt

Kern County California 

 

Galeorhinus sp. 

 

We found quite a few really nice Galeorhinus teeth including some positional  teeth that are pretty cool. Very cool looking teeth.

Miocene 

Round Mountain Silt

Triakis sp. 

 

We found a few Triakis teeth and only a couple of complete teeth. Pretty cool though as these were our first Triakis teeth.

Miocene 

Round Mountain Silt

Alopias sp. 

 

Got an ID assist from @Al Dente on this little tooth. I believe Alopias teeth are fairly rare in this fauna so I am pretty happy to have found this during our micro search.

Hexanchus andersonii

 

Cow Shark teeth are awesome. We don’t have a lot but I like what we have. These look great in the larger Hexanchiformes display.

Hi,

 

Woopaul5, I suppose "O." is for Otodus ? You have to write it entierey.

I prefer Carcharocles... but they changed the lineage. Not a fan of Otodus

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.

 

Those are great, I would love to find some like that where do you find them in Portugal?

This is a wonderful collection of shark teeth from an uncommon location.

A handful of Carcharodon Carcharias, and the far right is a Carcharodon Hastalis being the largest at 2.75”.

That has to be the best preserved English tooth I’ve ever seen

@Woopaul5 mind sharing exactly where that blue site is located? I live right down the road from Harleyville / Ridgeville.

Not a clue about it. Supposedly it’s a retention pond now

[Notidanodon]

Here we have an O. var mugodzharicus A transitional species that is fairly rare you can see the faint serrations at the base of the blade, I posted this as it’s essentially the common O.obliquus but it has a variation it’s 4cm

Here is an oddball tooth, Serratolamna aschersoni.  It's a common species from the Early Eocene of Morocco and said to be uncommon from the Early Eocene of the Chesapeake Bay region but apparently absent from the Early Eocene London Clay of England.  S. aschersoni was apparently a warm water form of the Tethys that spread into the western Atlantic.  It's absence in the London Clay has been explained as that environment having been a cooler, deeper one.

 

This tooth comes from the Early Eocene Bashi Marl of the Red Hot Truck Stop site, Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi.  The Bashi has been described as a member of the Hatchetigbee Formation but I've seen references to it as a formation. 

 

It was photographed on graph paper (1/4 inch squares/roughly 6mm squares).

That's a nice group.  It takes a while to find a handful like that.

Thanks, about 5 years!

hi guys thought it bumo this wonderful thread with this tooth,

a Squalicorax kaupi from the campanian of hallencourt, France, whilst this looks like you regular, slightly beat up toth (rarer location though), there is an area of rainbow iridence on the top of the display face of the root, pics dont do it justice

btw sorry for lack of scale, its approcimately 1.4 cm slant length

C. Hastalis

Found this tooth which is the biggest Hastalis I have seen from the red crag beds. Love the lightning strike patina on it as well. 
61mm or 2.4 inches.
