jacob Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hey all, I thought I would make a thread to show some of my shark teeth that I have collected from the Oxford Clay formation (mainly the Peterborough Member), feel free to comment if I have misidentified anything! Pre-Apologies, some of them are quite small.. Cheers, Jacob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoNoel Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Really cool collection of teeth! I always like looking at jurassic shark teeth as it seems they're always rarer (at least online) than the teeth from the late cretaceous onward.

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Very nice shark teeth, all of them 1 Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

siteseer Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Wow! That is the largest Asteracanthus I've ever seen. It's over twice as long as a cast of a specimen I have and that one was said to be unusually large. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 @Siteseer thank you, it was undoubtedly a very large shark. I'd love to see some pictures of the cast if possible, I've only seen one other tooth that's within a similar size range - but that was framed on someone's wall!
