HoppeHunting Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (I will now be using the poll format, so you can actually click your favorite and the poll will keep track of the votes) 1. Carcharocles chubutensis: MY FIRST MEGATOOTH! A bit of damage near the root and a missing bourlette, but a gorgeous tooth nonetheless. The serrations are absolutely killer. It’s about 1 ¾ inches. Colors completely changed when it dried. I. Am. Ecstatic. 2. Carcharias cuspidata: Very large sand tiger with a beautiful hooked double cusp on one shoulder. Excellent preservation, and certainly a necklace quality tooth. 3. Notorynchus primigenius: A perfect little cow shark tooth. Found in the cove within my first five minutes of collecting. Not very big, but in fantastic condition. 4. Isurus desori: Incredible little mako. It is absolutely pristine, and still sharp enough to cut you. Has that beautiful Brownies blue coloration on the enamel. 5. Carcharocles sp.: Oh, what could have been...this is the tip to what was probably a huge Megalodon tooth. Based on the thickness of the tooth, it would have been much larger than the meg that I found. Still a great find! The tip of a monster.

Littlefoot Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I really love your cow shark teeth, but nothing tops out finding your first meg! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoppeHunting Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Due to a stalemate, I cast a vote of my own as a tiebreaker. Although the cow shark tooth is an absolute beauty, nothing can top my first meg. The Hoppe tripmaker for 01/25/18 is... #1 Carcharocles chubutensis/megalodon (still unidentified) The Hunt for the Hemipristine continues! ~Hoppe hunting!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
