Fossil-Hound Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Thinking about selecting a light sand color for the background to make these teeth pop. Here’s an evolutionary display of the Megalodon. Left-to-right: O. obliques, O. auriculatus, O. angustiden, O. chubutensis, O. megalodon. Notice the abscence of cusps from the Meg. The two right most teeth are from Calvert Cliffs, the two in the middle from South Carolina, and the far left from Morocco.

doushantuo Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Not everybody that visits/frequents this forum is an expert on chondrichthyan dentition. I think that therefore you should mention what the "O" stands for edit: As per usual,I'll let this one stand: you ought to read EVERYTHING in a post although,to be pedantic: obliquus,angustidens 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Sharks Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Personally, I think a sand colored background would wash the teeth out a bit. If it were mine, I'd go with a contrasting color like black, red or blue. Link to post Share on other sites
minnbuckeye Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 DARK background! The color currently is pleasing! Link to post Share on other sites
