Cloud the Dinosaur King Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I feel like these teeth are from a relative of the Mako Shark, assuming they are the same species. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 My two cents says Goblin or sand tiger. “...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...

I'm pretty sure Lake Murray, and I'm not sure about the age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 In order to get accurate I.D.'s on any fossil, but especially shark teeth it is important to keep records. Where they were found for sure is a good start, but also the formation can narrow things down. I am not sure about the age of the sediments in and around Lake Murray, but it is a large area. Remember there are deposits from the Cretaceous through the Miocene / Pliocene in S.C. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomotodon Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I am pretty sure the second one is a mako of some sort, it lacks striations, is broad and potentially symmetrical (lower goblin teeth are symmetrical too, but they are much less broad than this tooth), therefore it should be Miocene-Pliocene. Assuming both teeth are from the same location, first tooth should be a sand tiger, Carcharias taurus. The Tooth Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
