I’m overseas at the moment and had to resort to stock photos and what few I have saved in my phone. I’ll be updating this once I return stateside. Thanks for the the kind words!

Darktooth Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have collected a fair amount of Cowshark teeth from the Cliffs. I only have 3 left in my possession after giving some to my kids, trades, and auctions. But these are the 3 best I have found #1 Found at Mataokke cottages. #2&3 from Brownies. The 3rd one has a different morphology then any other cowsharks I have seen. In front of the first large spike, instead of serrations which point towards the spike there appear to be additional spikes pointed in the opposite direction. I know this is not a symphaseal, but someone suggested that it may have come from somewhere close to the middle of the mouth. I have never seen another one quite like it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it’s some pathology to that tooth. Very cool!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Anomotodon Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Amazing specimens! I love these sharks very much, although still haven't found any symphyseals.

Max-fossils Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Some gorgeous teeth! I’m jealous... The cow sharks are definitely my favorite sharks, and the only ones that I am really interested in. Especially the sevengill (Notorhynchus). The other sharks are fun too, but I don’t find them that awesome... Here are two of mine already, I’ll show the other ones I have this weekend: Sixgill shark Hexanchus microdon Khouribga, Morocco Early Eocene, 50 mya Bought 23/11/2016 Sevengill shark Notorhynchus cepedianus Antwerp, Belgium Miocene-Pliocene, 5 mya Found 23/9/2017 My favorite shark tooth in my collection (because it’s a Noto and I found it myself, didn’t just buy it/receive in a trade) I have some other interesting Antwerp cow sharks too, and also my second favorite cow shark tooth (which I got from Dave), of whose the pictures will come this weekend 2 Link to post Share on other sites
