ricardo Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Today I photographed two small Galeocerdo latidens Agassiz 1843 and Coelodus saturnus Heckel 1854 teeth. I decided start a collection of small specimens. These are the first specimens inserted in a micro box. Those little shark beauties were a courtesy of Max some months ago. Thank you, Max! The C. saturnus was a personally collected. Regards, Ricardo Physogaleus secundus (Winkler, 1874) Thanks to Al Dente the correct Id. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Nice photos but I believe the tooth you labeled as Galeocerdo latidens is actually Physogaleus secundus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facehugger Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Looks great! Does the "micro box" have any magnification on the display side? Where did you find these? Looking on amazon, not much luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not able to make correct Id on shark teeth. So, I will assume you are correct of course and I will change my label on the microbox. Thank you! The small label inside the box was corrected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was seeing that topic and I didn´t find Physogaleus secundus pictures there, probably because these are common teeth. I will upload 2 photos. ps. done.

Adam86cucv Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Are the echinoids found loose in Sandy matrix or do you have to carefully extract them from rock? They look so fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look so fragile. I only collected the A. romana and the matrix was soft. Other are very dificult to extrat without damage. Sometimes KOH are used by some collectors. I believe we have a post about it here in TFF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
