ynot Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hey hi Everybody! I like the unusual teeth. And posterior teeth are some of the most unusual in any given species. So I thought I would start a thread for posterior shark teeth of any species. To kick it off..... Here are some from Shark tooth hill (round mountain silt). I think these are Carcharodon hastalis and (?) planus. The smallest one is just under 1/8th inch wide. So, if You have any posterior shark teeth - please post pictures here. Thanks, Tony 5 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.

Darktooth Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Here is one of my favorites. A Brownies beach, posterior meg. I cleaned up the beach pretty well the day I found this. I found another one about half this size and a few nice makos. 2 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an extremely high tide before I hit the beach. I found the 2 megs within acouple feet of each other. Also a few makos a few feet from the megs. All were in great condition.

Max-fossils Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Here is another megalodon posterior: From Brownies Beach, Calvert Cliffs. Dave @Darktooth traded this one with me 6/2/2017 (European date), and it's the first meg tooth that was in my collection! I love how tiny it is too. Thanks again so much Dave for this great shark tooth! Oh, and was this the one you were referring to here? On 2/28/2018 at 4:17 AM, Darktooth said: I gave it to a friend.

Calvert Cliff Dweller Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) WHi guys here a few posterior Megs from my Calvert collection. As you all know they quite rare. Sizes are from 3 1/4” to 3/4” Sometimes the smallest are the hardest to find here on the Chesapeake.

Calvert Cliff Dweller Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Here’s a few Makos, Some of them may be considered posterior teeth. If there are not posterior teeth feel free to identify for the board. Thanks. Cliff Dweller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvert Cliff Dweller Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Yes we have many Calvert gems. Most of the Makos in the other pic are in the 1 to 2” range. I only have two Paratodus B.

Some debate as to whether A. Grandis is just posterior C. Hastilis, though most have abandoned this position. @Calvert Cliff Dweller I do love those Threshers and the Parotodus (which may or may not be a thresher shark or just a thresher-like otodontid)! “...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...
Calvert Cliff Dweller Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Yes I have heard there was a debate about the Alopis Grandis. That parotodus is probably the rarest tooth in mt Calvert Collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
