A nice tooth

[Ludwigia]

Since my new dust sucking unit still hasn't been delivered, I've been twiddling my thumbs and wondering half the time what to do with myself, so I decided to hop on my bike this afternoon and take a little tour. For some strange reason (), I ended up on the forest track where you can scratch around in the miocene sandy gravel a bit and since by chance I had my trusty swiss army knife in my pocket, I decided to do just that. I found a few little bits, including a tiny drumfish tooth, but this was the best of the bunch. A Carcharias tooth with a length of 18mm. and a complete root.

There are several here. Same stratigraphy and lithology as Ursendorf, if you're familiar with that.

Ok thanks for the info !
I am a bit familiar with the stratigraphy of Ursendorf ... But the found locations are only temporary or?

No. They've been available for years and will be for years to come.

By gosh, by golly! I think you're right! I'm so used to pulling Carcharias out of this stonework, that I didn't give the id much thought. Thanks for the correction.
