caldigger Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Your "Megalodon" teeth are actually Otodus sp. not Megs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 beat me to it! otodus are ancestral to megalodons though, right? “...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...
Chase_E Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Those otodus teeth look like they're from Morocco. I've never seen any of such coloration like that from Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Your meteorites on the right don't look like any meteorites I've ever seen. Also, your fish appear to be Knightia eocaena. Neat little collection.

Macrophyseter Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 As everyone had said, unforutunatly, the "megalodon teeth from virgina" look more like morroccan otodus teeth. The crowns are simply too small compared to the root with the lack of serrations and the presence of cusps. I also think that the mosasaur tooth is also from morocco, not kansas. Ive never seen kansas rock that texture, but it looks like morroccan phosphate rock. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Ludwigia Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I concur with Tim and Whodaman on the "meteorite". Your trilobites could also very well be from Morocco. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I found them on the eastern shore, it didn't occur to me that the coloration was unusual 13 hours ago, caldigger said: Your "Megalodon" teeth are actually Otodus sp. not Megs. Oh thanks for informing me, I wasn't completely sure what they were when i found them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
