Auspex Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 This is a seriously worn tooth fragment. I can maybe make out the remnants of serrations: Run a thumbnail along the edge I've marked to see whether I'm seeing them, or image pixelation.

abyssunder Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The Hemipristis is very nice!

BSE Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Photos of the working surface will greatly speed up the identification process. Will mean: where do you found it - town, area, river, sea, formation, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSE Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Nice finds! Bigger teeth and a small squarish one Here some more IDs: Left Picture: above the sanddollar could be a Carcharhinus sp., followed by a nice Hemipristis. Right above the Hemi is a Galeocerdo sp. (cf. aduncus) (Tigershark), right below another Galeocerdo sp. (cf. cuvier). The tall teeth are Sandtigers (Carcharias sp.) Right pic: the large one is a broken Meg, in the upper right corner is another Galeocerdo sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
