Sharkteeth from Egem


Max-fossils

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Here some sharkteeth found in Egem, Belgium. From the Yperian stage of the early Eocene (approx 50 mya).

 

Anyone have a clue on the species?

 

Have a nice weekend,

 

Max

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

I agree with Abdounia, probably A. minutissima.

Hi Dave, 

 

No, I bought them; they were part of the big box of fossils I bought at the Fossil fair in Ede.

Thanks though!

 

Best regards,

 

Max

Abdounia minutissima seems to match indeed. Thanks a lot guys! :dinothumb:

And thanks for the websites too, they're quite useful!
