Those are some nice teeth. We don't see many French megalodons on this side of the ocean. Those are the first ones I've ever seen except in a book. Thanks for sharing

Although one finds some of them they are seldom as large as those of the United States

Thanks! Those are great.

It's a real treat to see fossils from groups that are similar to what we find but of a different age. It helps to give perspective to the evolution and diverse populations.

I really like your crocodilia specimens. The crocodile teeth we find in Late Cretaceous deposits are smoother and lack or only have very faint vertical lines. The scutes are almost the same as in your photo.

I love seeing many of the same teeth that I collect from Miocene deposits in the US (eastern seaboard) being collected in France.
