Ludwigia Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I found this tooth today and was very happy with it, since it's the first of its type that I've ever found at the southern German site in the Miocene Burdigalian which I visit regularly. I'm just wondering if this might be a Hexanchus sympheseal and if so, which species might it be? The tooth, which appears to be missing one barb at the one end, is 14mm. long. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Darktooth Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hi Roger, it is definitely a Cowshark symphyseal, but which species, I am unsure. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. Now I'm starting to think that this is a Notorhynchus. I've already found some of those at the site, but come to think of it, no Hexanchus as yet. Maybe @Al Dente can help?

Al Dente Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Not sure whether it is Hexanchus or Notorhynchus but if you are only finding Notorhynchus, that is probably what it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I don't think I've seen a Hexanchus tooth from the Oligocene to Early Miocene of Germany. The water may have been rather shallow for it.

I've settled on N. primigenius for the id. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
