A nice hunting day in Cadzand

Recommended Posts

,Last week I enjoyed my holidays in the Netherlands. The weather was not too bad and sometimes even sunny !

I also visited many locations where I searched for fossils. For example I was in Antwerp, in Nieuwvliet and also at the "Zwarte Polder". 

Beside those locations I collected some nice shark teeth at the beaches near Cadzand. The fossils come mainly from the Miocene, Pliocene until the Pleistocene.

I want to show you my finds from the last day which was the most successful hunting day there ! I spent almost the whole day at a beach near Cadzand and found some beautiful and big shark teeth !

 

Here is a picture of the beach:

And the find of the day !! My biggest tooth until now :D:D

Its about 4.6 cm long and it should be a Isurus escheri or?

Nice haul! I believe escheri has serrations, so its some other mackerel shark ( I'm not great with shark teeth but maybe carcharodon hastilis?)

Happy hunting,

Thanks @WhodamanHD ! As you recognized I am also not familiar with shark teeth :)

Is it possible that the tooth is so worn that you cant see the serrations? :blink: 

Another possibility would be Cosmopolitodus hastalis ... this specimen looks similar:

Thanks for your help !
