Northern Sharks Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 If memory serves, Dr Hubble's collection was shown on an early" Shark Week" show on the Discovery channel. That show, with some of his megalodon teeth was the one that got me started with all this madness.

Gatorman Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Dr. Gordon Hubble lives in Gainesville which is a short drive from here Cris anad I are planning on getting in touch with him soon and visiting his museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 What is the name of specimen #1? :shades: I remember seeing a similar specimen in the Sternberg Museum in Kansas? If you're referring to the spiral one, it's a Helicoprion. I don't know how many species there are, but the only one I know of is H. bessonowi, a ridiculously rare one from the permian-triassic.

Northern Sharks Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Another note, the jaws shown are a Frilled Shark (Clamydodoselachus), probably the most primitive living shark. Next is a Goblin Shark (Mitsukurina) but the photo is upside down. There is a picture of what the freaky looking shark looks like beside the jaw. Both of these jaws are quite tough to get a hold of. The last one is a shortfin Mako (Isurus oxyrhinchus). Shameless plug here, but I still have 1 of these for sale/trade if anyone's interested.

worthy 55 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 What is the name of specimen #1? :shades: I remember seeing a similar specimen in the Sternberg Museum in Kansas?He told us the story about that fossil. It was stolen from the museum in Russia and was being sold in the US and he and a friend got it back and had to smuggle it back to the museum in Russia and got thrown in jail and a friend from England got it to the muesum in St Petersburg Russia. That is where the real fossil is and all the others you see are cast. :cool: :cool: It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a problem visualizing what it may have looked like. It's a really weird looking configuration of teeth. -----"Your Texas Connection!"------ Fossils: Windows to the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really weird looking configuration of teeth. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...rd-animals.html This shows how it MAY have looked. Obviously with such an odd configuration, it's still all speculative.
