Maart24 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hi all, For a few months now, I occasionally go searching for shark/ray teeth in an old industrial area in Aruba. I found hundreds of smaller shark teeth (probably carcharhinus) and a handful of very cool & much larger teeth (likely otodus angustidens). This morning, I went walking the dogs there and stumbled upon a chunk of a much larger tooth! Could it be the megalodon? it could be a larger specimen of an O. Angustidens but the proportions are not quite the same… I'll let the experts judge for themselves. The (almost) complete O. Angustidens tooth in the middle is 2’1 inches (5,3 cm) long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Unfortunately, I think the condition is too poor to ID definitively. Depending on the age of the formations, it could be a meg, angustidens, or even great white. We would need to be able to verify whether there was a bourlette and cusps. 2 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.
