Max-fossils Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi all, Yesterday, on a fun day at the Zandmotor, I found my very first shark tooth Shark teeth at the Zandmotor are kinda rare, so for me this is an exciting find. Maybe it's small, worn and has some feeding damage, but I'm still proud of it. Anyways, I would love to put a name on this one. So: it comes from the Zandmotor, Netherlands, and is from the Eocene. I'm thinking Striatolamia macrota for the moment, as I can see the small remains of a worn out cusp (4th photo). The 5th and 6th photo are extracts of a small fossil guide I have, called Zeeuwse strandfossielen , written by Harry Raad en the Zeeuws Genootschap. It's in Dutch, but if you want to translate the content you can use Google Translate. Most of the info seems to match; apart from the size. What do you think? Am I correct, am I wrong, or is this tooth too worn to be IDd? Thanks, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Just the normal Photos, or another specific app from the App Store/Google Play store? Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.
