Tidgy's Dad Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Can't help, but those are very interesting looking teeth! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipockets Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Thanks T.D. I am guessing isurus for the first and abdounia recticona for the second one, but just not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Wild guess... 1. Physogaleus "secundus" (WINKLER, 1874) - Extinct requiem shark genus. Symphyseal tooth. 2. Abdounia recticona (WINKLER 1873) - Extinct requiem genus. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Jazfossilator Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The cusps on that second tooth are unlike anything I’ve seen, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. recticona are very common in some of the Eocene exposures in North Carolina.

I’ve never had the fortune of hunting in those places, I’ll have to look into that next time I’m in the Carolinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I will agree with Physogaleus for the first and Abdounia for the second, even though there is something odd about the shape of the second one. Our mutual friend (EM) would probably label the first one as a Galeocerdo alabamensis symphyseal and the second as Abdounia claibornensis, Abdounia recticona usually has fewer cusps than A. claibornensis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
