Kasia Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Dear teeth and bones' experts I need some help to ID a lot of sharks' teeth that I got from Belgium. 90% of them have no ID. Here is the overall picture of the lot (with numbers of groups): The seller put them in separate packages, so I took the pictures as he grouped them. This is the most numerous group no.1 - to the right on the first picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manticocerasman Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I have my doubts of the origin of group 2, 3, 4 and 5 they don't seem right to be Belgian sharkteeth, the colour is odd. They seem to be Miocene species, but I've never seen this kind of coulour around here from teeth from those deposits. lot 8 and 9 seem to be Legit, probably from the area of Antwerpen ( Miocene / Pliocene ) , mostly Cosmopolitodus hastalis ( former Isurus hastalis ) growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Those teeth look a lot like teeth from Sharktooth hill. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

They might hold some similar mineralization in the soils, but I think that's as close as it gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, not the teeth in picture 5, those type are not found in STH material. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
