Bob Saunders Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 antique mall find. old typed tag say's fossil sharks teeth. Any ideas on the types of sharks based on the sizes or shapes? The frame construction tells me it has been around for awhile. Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Big boy at the top appears to be Megalodon, surrounded by a selection of hastilis, sand tiger at the bottom and not sure on the little ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the meg at the top is tooth #1, two teeth to the right looks to me like it could possibly be an Isurus desori.

sixgill pete Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The small tooth directly under the left side of the tag looks like a Carcharoides catticus. It is a very uncommon tooth. That would make these east coast teeth possibly from Lee Creek. The tooth to the left of the meg looks like Cosmopolitodus (Carcharodon) hastalis.

CharlotteG Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I would disagree on the species being catticus. Looks more like a weathered sand shark to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
