DevilDog Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I found this heart breaker of a beautiful C. chubutensis tooth in a Lee Creek spoils pile in North Carolina. Since it was broken almost exactly in half longitudinally, it offered an interesting interior view of the structure of a fossilized shark tooth. In a process similar to that used in industrial quality control work, I evened out the rough edges and polished the now flat surface to reveal the fossilized core of the tooth and the contrasting enamel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Neat. Haven't seen one polished before. Good idea.
