Darktooth Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Though snaggle tooth teeth are a common find at Bayfront park(i have found lots) hereis another unique looking tooth. Very vicous looking and i love how uppers are so completly different from the lowers. Now have fiund lowers that might have a cusp or two but the big lower in the middle of the pic has 6 cusps going down each side. Does anybody know is that common? I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Shellseeker Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 To add one data point, I find cusps in less than 30% of my large lower Hemis. The one in this photo is far more common for me.

Diceros Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Because the tooth in question has root lobes of equal length, couldn't it be an anterior lower tooth of Hemipristis serra. Because the tip of the primary cusp bends slightly toward the right, it's probably not a symphyseal tooth. The place to check it would be a set of jaws of the modern Hemipristis elongatus.
