Miocene_Mason Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Thought I'd share some angustidens I'd just received in the mail. Bought these online for 12 bucks including the shipping, don't know if that's good or not, but I'm happy! 3 teeth, biggest one is 1 5/8 inches approximately and the other two are 1 1/2 approximately. Came from the oligocene of South Carolina (no idea the formation, might ask the seller but I don't think they found it) they are a little broken, but are enough to be representive of the species (or chronospecies if you prefer). I'm trying to make a display showing the evolution of the great white and the megalodon, starting with isurolamna, to my knowledge the proposed common ancestor. I'm currently looking for representative specimens of most of them (chub, isurolamna, escheri, hubbelli, praecursor, etc PM me if you have one for cheap or maybe for trade, although I'm low on trading material right now) Sellers pics are better than mine, so using them! thanks for looking! “...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...

Hi There, Usually these teeth are coming out of the Chandler bridge formation or from the Ashley marl that sits beneath it ... Cheers, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Angustidens are one of my favorite shark teeth. Do show us progress of the evolution set! Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

I definitely will! I think I should get it a little farther along though, but hopefully soon! “...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...

Cheers, Brett I agree, the two teeth on the right look like land site teeth - most likely Chandler bridge. The other has the look of a river tooth to me - maybe reworked from Chandler bridge. Nice examples ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
