PalaeoArt Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hi All, I recently received a number of shark teeth found by divers in the Cooper, Wando and Morgan rivers of South Carolina. Most of them were C.angustidens but these two looked more like C.chubutensis. Although they have narrower blades, the cusps are clearly more merged with the main blade like a Chub. Would love an expert opinion? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Can't help, but lovely teeth! And drawing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Looks like a chub to me, I don't know any reason why a fully fused cusp would still be called an angusteidens. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I’d definitely call those chubs, anterior teeth as well. Very nice “...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...
