Max-fossils Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hi all, Last weekend at the fossil fair in Ede I bought a big box full of great fossils, but I need your help with some of them. Here are some sharkteeth that I bought. They were found in Florida, but no location was given. Any Florida hunters recognize those colors? They are from the Miocene. I'm assuming some (first picture) are Negaprion, but I don't know the species, and I don't know about the other teeth. All help is welcome!

Troodon Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 They all look like Gray sharks, Carcharhinus sp. Several different species, the broad ones are uppers. You can go on the elasmo.com web site to see if you can determine the exact species. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
