EMP Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well, Shark Week has come early this year! I'm starting to photograph my collection for more "safekeeping" while I'm away, so I figured posting them here would be a good thing to do. Now, I can't really tell any species from another, so I don't really have any ids for any of these guys, but I know many members here would know, so I don't mind if some of you all id them (or correct the ones I do give) . These first ones are from Aurora, North Carolina, and come from the Miocene epoch. I think there's some hemis and tiger shark teeth in these, as well as "requiem sharks" (?).

EMP Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Up-close shots of some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMP Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 And some more. The first is a tiger shark (?), and the last is Megalodon, both from Aurora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Nice teeth! Especially the meg and the hemi! Some of your requiem sharks (carcharinus sp.)are actually negaprion (lemon shark) teeth “...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...
EMP Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 And now for my pitiful Calvert Cliffs collection, also Miocene. The only one I recognize in the first is the tiger shark tooth. Next are both Megalodon. The last one I actually found myself. Originally I thought it was a mako shark, but a ranger was kind enough to ID it for me and said it was a Megalodon, so that was pretty great!

EMP Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 These come from the Miocene of Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMP Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 This is a tooth I found while walking the beaches of South Carolina. I believe it's Pliocene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not great with shark's teeth, but I believe this might be Otodus obliquus. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMP Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 These are sand tiger teeth from the Pliocene (?) of Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomotodon Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Very nice teeth! But Georgia sand tigers are most likely from the Eocene of Morocco, and the other Eocene shark is Otodus obliquus. The Tooth Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s a Carcharodon hastilis. Still a nice tooth, and the meg is great! “...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...
