Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Fantastic stuff. I just started collecting Jurassic shark teeth so I look forward to seeing more

Very nice!  :wub: :wub:  We don't get to see Jurassic teeth very often, and you have some real beauties.

Very nice shark teeth, all of them

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?

A. At Khaan Academy!...

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.

@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!
