SharkGuy94 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Here is my first Great White Shark tooth that I bought, it measures 42mm (1.6 inches) in length, and was found in South Carolina. I love the blue colouration of the enamel. This will be the first of many, I've heard that this hobby is addictive, and I'm already looking for the next tooth to add to my collection. I want to start a nice collection of primarily Great White teeth, that is by far my favourite species, and there are some really nice looking fossil teeth out there! Anyway, here are the pics BackFront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually got this one from ebay, and have been looking at some really nice specimens on there that are in great condition. I've seen some nice looking Peruvian teeth.

Auspex Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I love Gt. White teeth that are nice and fat in the middle like this; they just seem to "hulk".

Dragonmiser Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 There are many beautiful and colorful GW specimens out there if your are patient. You might like Makos as well. They are similar in shape to a GW without the serrations and come in a multitude of colors Why does the sun come up? Or are the stars just pinholes in the curtain of night? Who knows!!

They are similar in shape to a GW without the serrations and come in a multitude of colors I have been looking at some Makos on ebay, am I correct in thinking that the species those large Mako teeth come from has now been placed in the same genus as the Great White? unlike the modern Mako species which are in a completely different genus. Nice start to your collection. Welcome aboard! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonmiser Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Well, the debate still rages from what I can see. There are others here that know far more about it than myself.Here's an article from NBCnews that suggests that they are related.http://www.nbcnews.com/id/49828612/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/sink-your-teeth-mako-was-great-white-shark-ancestor/#.U_o8w8VdV8E Why does the sun come up?
