My goodness; look at the root on that tooth! I have never before seen one; thank you!

Wow, that's a great specimen and that's a great question. The roots are widely extended as in a Sphenodus lateral but I haven't seen enough specimens as complete as that to say what exact position that would be.

I have a few Jurassic specimens but the root is either gone or poorly preserved.

I think this is LA1. Is there other opinions?

That is a very interesting and cool tooth. Please post some more of your teeth. I always enjoy seeing new ones.

I want to comment that, besides the nice specimens, your photography is very well done!

Hi Artyom,

Those are some cool shark teeth, and some great photographs as well. Kudus!

Like others, I enjoy your teeth and skills at photography. Can you identify the camera and editing tool? Nice work!!! Here is one from the Peace River miocene deposits, similar to your Striatolamia sp. just a LOT later in time..

I agree... nice pictures of nice teeth. Yes, we are interested. Many of us also like to see fossils form new places... like Russia. Thanks.

These are Striatolamia cederstroemi, a species characterised by smooth or weakly striated cusps (described from the Danian of Sweden).

Striatolamia sp. Supposedly Lower Paleocene. Volgograd region. (Lacks striations)
