Barasingha Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Can you please help me identify these two shark teeth. They were found in a Miocene area; Calvert Cliffs. The larger of the two (at the top) is 1 1/16" across the root, and the smaller one (on the bottom) is 10/16" across the root. Thanks for your help.

PaleoRon Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Hello. The top tooth is a megalodon posterior tooth, from toward the back of the jaw. The second specimen is a mako tooth, I. hastalis, or C. hastalis if you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I can confirm, nice finds, especially the meg. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
