britishcanuk Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I was wondering what the general consensus is on what Palaeocarcharodon's ancestors are. Inwas also hoping some of you could share pics of your early or transitional palaeo teeth. cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
WhodamanHD Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The general consensus is that the anecestor of paleocarcharodon is cretolamna I believe. I found a few possible teeth, but I'm not great with IDs so Could be wrong. It's not transitional though. If it's not a cretolamna it's a otodus, another descendant of cretolamna Link to post Share on other sites
