The latest teeth are Striatolamna macrota but I find it hard to tell Sand Tiger shark teeth apart.
 

I have more  Bracklesham Beds Shark stuff but I think I shown a good variety specimens.

Next location has some of most beautiful preserved fossil shark teeth available to the collector, Sharktooth Hill of Backersfield California, 

 

This lot of beautifully stained teeth was of course given to me by Doren.

Yes they are lovely, they are actually now in my shark bell jar, But I could not  get a nice picture today. The Jar a bit tricky to open . I do have a really lovely Crow shark tooth in the bell that you gave me.

Lovely.

Yes it is, thank you. I purchased the shark head from our location antique centre. It is quite fearsome  I think.

Cheers my friend , I enjoyed shark week I think it really helped me learn more about prehistoric shark. I could do another week of shark stuff but I am not sure. 
 

cheers Bobby

Hi all

Thanks for the encouragement with my extended show and tell shark week.

 

I have a collection of what could possible be fruit, nut and plant seeds from the isle of sheppey . I was looking for some IDs but it is so specialised subject. I do need to get this book “No. 1 - Fossil Plants of the London Clay“ .  Sorry I need to photograph together with a scale but for today they between 5mm to 10mm. They are black and white images because I  think the forms stands out better.

Thanks for looking  .Bobby

Can't help but very interesting. 

I have a few seeds from Sheppey myself, some of which I tentatively identified using that book. 

Sorry, but I sold the book years back when times were hard.
