Dan 1000 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 A set of Carcharocles angustidens teeth has been discovered at Jan Juc, Victoria. This is the first set of Carcharocles teeth ever found in Australia and is one of only three sets ever discovered in the world. https://www.perthnow.com.au/technology/science/australian-fossil-hunter-finds-rare-set-of-mega-shark-teeth-ng-b88923078z 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yay! Hope some good papers come out of this.
