Gatorman Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Study this page it should give you an idea. Its most likely aduncus. Elasmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy 55 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I thought that these were aduncus but I could be wrong. It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 The serrations are worn off, so differentiating between cuvier and mayumbensis would be pretty much impossible on looks alone. Where was it found? G.mayumbensis is the older species There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hard to tell but aduncas was miocene mayumbensis was oligocene to early miocene and cuvier was pliocene and since the marine material in gainesville creeks is almost entirely made up of miocene aduncas is the most likely one given this tooth does not have enough detail to support that it is mayumbensis.

Gatorman Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I should note that early pliocene outcrops are also in the Gainesville creeks so cuvier is also found but majority are actually aduncas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
