Hi, I picked this up last winter and was told it was Cretaceous period and from Peru. Is this possible? Also what is it, I was angling towards a Douvilleiceras but this really is not my area! Looking forward to learning something hopefully!

Some Questions About Cow Shark Species And Localities Where They Are Found.
whowat13 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I recently acquired a small "lot" of cow shark teeth from Sacaco, Peru. In the lot was 1 cow shark tooth that measures about 1.6 inches from front to back, and was wondering if there was any occurrence known of teeth from the giant cow shark Notidanidon loozi being found there. Also, in the same lot, there were two cow shark teeth (these may be partials, but are from the leading edge of the tooth) that bear a very strong resemblance to a cow shark species that as far as I know is only found in Bakersfield, CA... Hexanchus andersoni. I would also like an opinion on any occurrence of this species in Sacaco, Peru. I can not take pictures at the moment (my camera is packed for a trip I am going on tomorrow). If anyone can either prove or deny whether these species are found there or not, I would love to hear what you think on the topic. I may be able to take pictures later (when I reach my destination). If I can, I will post them in the ID section tomorrow evening. Thank you all in advance... -Bill H.- 1 reply
