FossilForKids Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Is that damage to the blade of is this tooth or is it a pathy Unfortunately it's damage. If only my teeth are so prized a million years from now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilForKids Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 In my experience, unheard of! I know.......at the time I was such a rookie I didn't realize the significance of the color or the type of tooth. If you can imagine how quick a storm can blow into the Potomac with white caps and lightening hitting the river while I was trying to plaster myself to a muddy part of a cliff where it met the beach. It was raining so hard it created this mini-waterfalls and this tooth just was washed out by one of these waterfalls and landed on my foot. It must have been devine intervention If only my teeth are so prized a million years from now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Here's a few of mine. A true extreme posterior from Chile, a midnite blue Bone Valley dagger, an unrepaired Peruvian specimen just under 5", the best Moroccan meg I've seen yet (although small) and a 4th row enamel shell.

Carl O'Cles Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 In my experience, unheard of! Here's a white'ish one from WM they come out everyonce in a while. I saw a 5.5" one once that was pretty nice. The other tooth is from there as well and just awesome. Its hard to tell from my crappy photo but there isn't a serration missing from the tooth. Good gosh i miss collecting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsessed1 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 There are some really sweet Megs that have been shown in this thread !!! Here are my three favorites that I have found. The first is my first "big" Meg. It was found at the north end of the Calvert cliffs several years ago. The other two are from Lee Creek. My first "big" Meg from the cliffs - 3 15/16" 4 1/8" LC Meg 2 3/4" LC Meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenixflood Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 It is not an extreme posterior meg but I would be surprised if the front teeth were more than 2 1/2 to 3 inches. So there's my 2 cents worth. Thanks Ron! Does anyone have an extreme posterior then, it looks a lot like NS's???? Great teeth everyone! :cool: The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoRon Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 The white teeth might not have been coming out but I hear the collecting back then was super primo There was a 20 foot wide section of the bone bed exposed at the base of the cliff that was loaded with all types of bone and the occasional small skull. There weren't a lot of big teeth but there were lots of makos, hemipristis, etc. The largest meg I pulled out of the matrix was 4 1/2 inches and a creamy color. I was dancing so much that a couple of boaters pulled in to see what I had found. The white, mottled, and rusty looking teeth are from the Eastover formation high on the cliffs. They were pretty rare until there was a monster fall and after about a year of weathering they started showing up. I was collecting there with a friend and found a 5 1/2 inch lower black & grey & white meg on the beach that my friend had just stepped over while looking up at a big block of material that had fallen off of the cliff. Five minutes later he popped a 6 inch meg out of the same block of Eastover. It was a pale multicolored tooth. The tooth was about 5 inches wide and the tip was bitten off. It would have been 6 1/4 to 6 1/2 inches complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessed1 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Does anyone have an extreme posterior then, it looks a lot like NS's???? I'm not sure if this is an extreme posterior but it's the smallest one I have at 1/2" wide and 3/8" straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 The first meg I ever found was a 4 1/2" "rust" encrusted thing with small, clear, cubic crystals on the root (some of which was missing). The darn thing was 1 1/2" thick! It came from a small, weathered fall, a half mile south of the park proper, which I suspect was Eastover.

That's getting real close if it's not one. I have one I'll try to find that is basically a root with a ridge of enamel running across the top. When I found it I thought it was a broken tooth.

PaleoRon Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Are these what you are thinking of? Yes indeed. Those are about as far back as you can get.

PaleoRon Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Wow! You really have a lot of twisty teeth. My favorite pathologic teeth are the ones with two symmetrical tips, but they are really rare. Now you got me going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
