Major Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Here you go John. A bunch of Rhinobatos incertus and I threw in a little Cretolamnia appendiculatus also. You know, I have one of those and have been to lazy to ID it- thanks! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchhunter Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Objection your honour (Canadian spelling, eh!)I see damaged teeth in there. Partial credit only. Plus it's a penny. The rules specifically called for a dime And for Mike: A canuck dime is the same size as a US one, it's just only worth about 8 cents. Our money does't differ from yours until we get into loonies and two-nies. And yes, that really is what we call our "funny money" I only have pennys I will make a new pic soon without broken teeth.

I tried to minimize any overlap for a true test. These are all from the same Cretaceous Eagle Ford matrix. Setting up for this shot was like a nightmarish version of the children's game Operation.

tracer Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 um, john - assuming i were to ever actually do something like that, i'm relatively certain i wouldn't announce the fact on the interwebz. <yellin' off camera> hey, tj! come look at what happens when somebody don't take their meds! p.s. - i was good at that kid's game "operation", but my parents' refusal to spring for an autoclave led to some infections...

Tracer Jr. Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 hey john, make sure no one figures out that's one of those over-sized dimes i must admit, thats pretty impressive. could you take them off the dime and film yourself putting them back on in those circular patterns several more times?

JohnJ Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 OK Mike and tj, since over-sized dimes are a recent government phenomenon, I'm hoping the 1970 dime gets me off the hook.

tracer Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 OK Mike and tj, since over-sized dimes are a recent government phenomenon, I'm hoping the 1970 dime gets me off the hook. isn't leaving them on there overnight defacing government coinage? also, i notice that the roots are hanging over the edge, which is clearly a balk. cheaters never prosper, mister <said with that high-pitched, whiney, annoying voice my little sister used to use on me when we were kids> say, isn't that tooth on the second row at 14 o'clock a baby meg?!

texaswoodie Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 OK I was hoping this would come up in the discussion, but never did. Dumb newbie question: Are these tiny teeth from tiny sharks, or are they juvenile teeth from larger sharks? Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alopias Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi Curt, the tiny teeth are from tiny species from shark : Scyliorhinus distans Scoliodon taxandriae Isistius triangulus Chaenogaleus affinis for Carcharias acutissima and Sqatina subserrata they are from larger shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
