Searcher78 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I only had one sand tiger tooth so I went here to get more. It was a great day for collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoSr Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I would need to see a close-up of the tooth crown but probably a croc tooth with a full root. No dolphins in the Paleocene. When crocs shed teeth the emerging tooth breaks up the root of the tooth that it is pushing out. So that tooth is mostly likely not shed but from the jaw of a croc that died before the tooth came out. Marco Sr. 2 "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."

Searcher78 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Another angle of the tooth. It seems a little hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcher78 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 I also overheard a woman tell someone that she found a meg in this area. From what I understand, that would be “a big nope”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
