FunkyMonkey Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hi all, Out walking today with my wife at Walton on the Naze beach, I stumbled upon my second Otodus tooth in the space of a month. This has to be my best specimen yet and I'm really 'chuffed'! This would have come from the London Clay deposits c53mya I was wondering if it was possible to determine anything about the animal from the one tooth alone, or where in the mouth the the tooth might have come from as it seems much straighter than all the other specimens we have found. Any help would be great. Best wishes, Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Sorry I can't help you with your question, but I just wanted to say what a nice find you have there! Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoRon Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 It looks like it may be a lower anterior. The teeth in the front of the mouth have little to no curve in the blade. The lower anterior teeth have a thicker root than the upper anterior teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
