Traveler Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hi all! Thank you for your patience with a first time poster! I was recently searching for fossils in Florida, and came across these two specimens. Actually, I was searching for fossils at an estate sale in Florida, so no glory to these finds lol. I know nothing of their origins, although there was enough material that seemed local to make me think Florida, or at lease SE U.S. They are approximately 2" in length, and have an odd second cusp present. Anyone want to take a stab at the sort of shark? Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thank you, Coco and Darktooth. Now that you point it out, I can see the similarities. And I am so happy to have a probable location along with the identification, I wasn’t expecting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
