Max-fossils Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hi all, Is this a tiger shark? If so, from what species? For now I'm thinking Galeocerdo latidens, but I'm not sure... It's from Balegem, Belgium (--> Lutetian, Eocene; 45 mya). Thanks in advance, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

JanT Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 It' a bit weathered, but I would agree with Galeocerdo latidens because of the age and the wide root. But let's wait for experts :-) http://www.elasmo.com/frameMe.html?file=genera/cenozoic/sharks/galeocerdo.html&menu=bin/menu_genera-alt.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
