This tooth suffered something terrible - the enamel is all bubbled up and twisted. Believe it or not this tooth is almost 100% complete

Hi Sharko69,

 

I don't think this is a Scapanorhynchus symphyseal nor a pathological.  It's too old to be S. texanus in any case.  Scapanorhynchus from the Santonian of New Mexico appears to have had an upper parasymphyseal (see Bourdon et al., 2011) and a reduced 1st anterior but it might have lost that position over time as the dentition became more efficient (or at least the position began to occur in fewer individuals over time - enough to become a quite rare find in younger rocks).  Teeth that have been called a Scapanorhynchus parasymphyseal are small yet very long relative to their width.

 

This tooth may actually be something even more unusual.  I think it could be a Pseudomegachasma tooth - possibly an anterior.  If you can get a photo of the tooth showing the crown sticking up from behind the root and one so that the crown is sticking up in front of the root, I or someone else might have additional comments.

 

I don't think I've ever seen this form from Post Oak Creek before.

I just found this Tiger last month. It has a 2nd set of serrations growing out of the root.

Man, some of these teeth look like they would be a burden having them in the lineup with the other teeth. I'll bet those sharks were happy to rid of them...it's so hard to get a good flossing holding string with fins.

OK, here's my contribution...a duel split crown and a chubby- wubby Otodus from Morocco.

Secondly, my self finds from Sharktooth Hill.  An warped curvature and an exadurated curvature on a couple of Hastilis.

Lots of nice teeth here Y'all!

Not as deformed as some but from an unusual species for pathological teeth.

I call this my "Chubby Chub"

It has a very swollen labial side. Found diving the shallow meg ledges this summer at about 95ft.

Some of these teeth posted here are really crazy!  I dig it.

 

Here's a few of mine:

1) Parotodus sp. with an elongated root and stretched out cusp

2) Striatolamia Macrota with a very odd swept blade

3) Otodus Megalodon with its tip thickened and bent

Cool topic, I love some of the teeth shown here.:envy:

I only have 3 pathological teeth at the moment, one of them is already shown here.

Here are the other two:

1: Squalicorax sp. with double tip. Cretaceous of Khouribga.

2: Otodus obliquus, also Khouribga. This tooth is complete, even if it looks like it isn't.
