Bone guy Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I was looking through my shark teeth and I found what I believe is a pathological tooth! The pathology is on the left side just below the root. This is exciting for me because I've heard these are kind of rare. Could somebody help me ID this tooth so I can appreciate it more? It's about .5 inches in length and Miocene in age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I think that this tooth may be a lower Carcharhinus sp.. I'm not sure which species, as there are so many species within the genus that have teeth that are almost near-identical. 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...
ynot Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Can You post a side view of the pathology? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
