britishcanuk Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I was hoping some of you might recommend a good book or maybe any papers that have been written on fossil shark teeth, their identification and their evolution. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickNC Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 The recent publications by the NC Fossil Club are excellent. Not sure what exactly you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! There are literally hundreds of books and thousand of papers on shark teeth. The book darctooth suggested, "Fossil Shark Teeth of the World" is a generic book. Good for beginners, but not a bad book. The book by the North Carolina fossil club is a great book, but is very specific to N.C. species. But many of these are found world wide. A pictoral guide to fossils, by Gerard R Case is a good general book for shark teeth and other fossil identification. I guess it depends on how specific you want your ID's to be and what if any specific regions you are wanting to ID from. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That why I figured I'd ask you guys what your favourite books are thanks for highlighting a few though, it's a starting point. A general book or local guide would be ok, but is there one that is the most comprehensive? Maybe a combination of books that you find cover the most? Thanks for the links guys, there's some great info in them. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgehiker Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 You live in Ontario. Lots of Devonian exposure. Paleozoic shark teeth in matrix are often overlooked until you start to get the feel for them. Many specimens found in Devonian exposures can only be tentatively identified and can be new species. Think of these as the 'diamonds' of shark tooth collecting. Good suggestions in above postings on shark teeth. However, be sure to research a bit on Paleozoic teeth to get a handle on what you may find yourself. For Paleozoic teeth localized research papers tend to be better than general publications. Identification of Paleozoic teeth is a educated speculation and knowing the stratigraphy is important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Fossil Sharks of the Chesapeake Bay Region by Bretton W Kent is highly recommended if you can find a copy. Also the Handbook of Paleoichthyology Volume 3D & 3E are great but they are far from cheap. There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
