fossilsonwheels Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 So I bought an inexpensive 2 inch Angustidens tooth from the auction site that shall not be named. The seller generously sent a couple of free teeth as well. One of them has me quite perplexed. It is a fairly large tooth, around 1.6 inches. It has some nice serrations on it and a pretty distinct looking root. The only thing I could think of is that it looks a little large Thresher shark teeth. I would certainly be surprised if the seller had included a Giant Thresher shark tooth with my purchase so I doubt that is what it is. I really could not find anything else that fit but I am sure somebody here will be to enlighten me. I have no information about where it was collected but I can email the seller. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 It appears to be a meg tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 It could be an angustidens or a meg, but given the cusps and the fact it came with other angys, I would say it is more likely an angustidens. It’s a posterior, which is why it’s bent in the way it is. Keep an eye out though, I have bought a cheap giant thresher labeled as meg. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
