procurator Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I found this fossils in South-West Kazahstan. Thit shark teeth was found in eocene layers. The tooth size is 1-1.5 santimeters. I use coin for scale I can not determine what species it is? Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Though I am not familiar with Eocene age shark teeth we do have a wide variety of knowledge on this forum (welcome to TFF, by the way). Thanks for including a well-lit focused image with a sense of scale in it. An additional photo with a planar view (flat view looking down on the tooth) may be of use in helping someone familiar with shark teeth of this age to offer a possible identification. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Welcome to The Fossil Forum! That's a cool tooth! If I remember correctly, @Troodon has a lot of teeth from Kazakhstan, and probably knows some stuff about them too. Maybe he'll be able to shed more light on this. I do agree though with Ken that more pictures are needed, especially one from above (and one of the other side would be good too). Happy hunting!

A nice change from all the American stuff! Because I tagged Troodon, he got a notification. When he will see it (he will probably click on it) and go to this topic. So all you have to do is wait till he comes online and he will probably come here by himself and tell you his opinion. 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

It may be the only way most of the members of this forum will ever see the area in which you get to fossil hunt. This forum is very US-centric and we always enjoy seeing areas outside of the US to restore a little balance here. If you can remember to take a camera (or phone) with you and take lots of images of the site and the things you find (especially in situ photos) they can make great illustrations for a nice trip report. I'm already awaiting reading your first report. We've recently been treated to some lovely lycopsids from Donetsk in the Ukraine which were spectacular to see. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/84737-lycopsids-from-donetsk/ Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, the dinosaur Olorotitan was found in the Amur region of Russia. Also, Siberia is FULL of awesome mammoth (and other Pleistocene megafaunal animal) fossils!

sixgill pete Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Beautiful tooth. I agree with @Troodon with it being Alopias hermani. As far as I know that is still valid.

I do not know if there was a more recent reassignment. Thank you very much for your answer! They wrote, what they found this teeth on tuzbair. I walked on tuzbair, but I didn't see shark's teeth ((( Tuzbair is a beautibul salt lake, this is a very popular place for sunset shots. I think, It happens because I found fossils on the floor of this lake, but shark's teeth lay on the top. I see only sea urchins in rocks, but I cannot take them, because they are very fragile.

We always like to see more fossils. For identification it helps to take the pictures from straight on and not at an angle.
