JulianoLPD Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hi there folks, I recently received this lot as gift, but it came with no ID. Is it possible to get an ID from this pic? They are all from Morroco. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrR Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I believe they come from an extinct shark referred to as a mackerel shark, aka Otodus Obliquus. I could be wrong (I am relative newbie.), but they seem to be the most common tooth coming out of Morocco. Nice gift, and a great start to a collection. Cheers.

PaleoNoel Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I would say Sand Tiger, but I'm not sure what variety come from Morocco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I would say definately sand tiger, but you may have several spieces represented here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulianoLPD Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Thank you guys. Yes, my main concern is if there are one or more species represented by these teeth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrR Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Dang, missed it by thaaaaat much. It seems to me, and my memory isn't what it once wished it was, that the sand-tigers I'd seen had double cusps. (Yup, that was the case.) Or perhaps that's the Otudus that do? I'll check out Troodon's Moroccan write-up. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
