Max-fossils Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hello again, Here are the other things that I bought at the same time as my Squalicorax tooth, in an earlier topic today. They all come from Khouribga, Morocco (Maastrichtian in age, ~68mya), but I do not know what they are... Any help is appreciated!

Max-fossils Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Fossil 1: shark tooth, but what species? Looks a bit like great white, but that wasn't alive at the time...

Max-fossils Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Fossil 2: another shark tooth, kinda similar to cowshark, but again not alive at that time...

Cow sharks were definitely alive at the time. As shown by Harry, the modern genus Hexanchus extends to the Paleocene andgoes back even further to the Jurassic - the oldest modern genus as far as I know. At Khouribga you can find Latest Cretaceous, Early Paleocene, Late Paleocene, and Early Eocene shark teeth. Palaeocarcharodon lived only during the Paleocene but Hexanchus microdon is known from that whole interval. I believe Weltonia is known from only the Paleocene in Morocco but also in the Paleocene-Early Eocene of England (London Clay sites). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I meant with cowshark was mainly the Notorhynchus genus. But thanks for your help anyways! Best regards, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

fossiling Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 the identifications of paleocarcharodon orientalis and hexanchus microdon are correct. Keep looking! They're everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 According to the photos posted, i agree with the ID of paleocarcharodon orientalis and of hewanchus microdon.
