Troodon Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) ~.jpg Actually think this is a Serratolamna aschersoni. Groove in the compressed root, Otodus do not have groove. Edited January 8, 2016 by Auspex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The far right tooth in your first image is an enchodus. Need better views of the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Actually think this is a Serratolamna aschersoni. Groove in the compressed root, Otodus do not have groove. Ah, the 'nutrient groove'. Thanks! I corrected the label; can't have misinformation being picked up on Google!

LordTrilobite Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Many of those bone pieces definitely look like jaw pieces. I wonder how many of them fit together. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowpoker Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Many of those bone pieces definitely look like jaw pieces. I wonder how many of them fit together. I was not exactly careful with my approach, so it may take a little creativity to glue them together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowpoker Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Well, we don't (or do we?)... could you share with us? Please. Here is the thread with the photo, the jaws real and the roots are fake. By the way, one of the teeth were found under the gum section of a jaw piece.

Slowpoker Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Very fascinating. Please keep us updated if you plan on restoring it! I definitely will be, I've confirmed the jaw and brown tooth to be anceps as I found the Brown tooth just under the gum, hinting that the jaw may have belonged to a juvenile anceps, which is apparently a rare find...

Slowpoker Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Update: Just wanted to ask about these grooves on the largest piece of jaw, are they blood vessels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Can you take clearer photos in outdoor light? It's hard to see the details and texture of the bone. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
