BellamyBlake Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I received the final piece needed for my Megalodon evolutionary set today! The hardest tooth to obtain by far was the Carcharocles mugodzharicus, and I would like to thank @MarcoSr for his help with that search as well as the generosity with which he shared knowledge about it. I'll mention that I acknowledge the various debates around species naming and went with the ones I believed to be the best fit. I kindly request that we not get into it on this thread. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhysicist Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I've been wanting to make something like this too, and for the great white lineage as well.

JamieLynn Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 oh that is so cool how you can see the little side "spikes" (not sure of the proper name) disappear over the course of the evolution! 1 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was neat as well! I'm not a shark tooth guy either, but I think those side "spikes" are called cusplets. Someone may come by and tell me I'm wrong though. It's been known to happen.

PrehistoricWonders Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Nice!!! I’m trying to do that too(for right now just meg, angy, auriculatus, Chubutensis, otodus, and appendiculata, but hopefully in the future I can get the sub species!) all I’ve got left is Auriculatus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost there, post that set when you have it! I would still want an Aksuaticus, but it'll wait until I find one at a bargain because that Mugodzharicus dented my wallet something hard 26 minutes ago, WhodamanHD said: That O. mugodzharicus is incredible!!!
