Foshunter Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 This is a purchased land tooth I just had to have. I have a thing for teeth with pathologies mainly Angustidens but really liked this Megalodon. It is small by Meg. standards, only 2 5/8 in. bet it looked weird when it smiled.--Tom Grow Old Kicking And Screaming !!"Don't Tread On Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I like seeing the Aba Normals too. I have found thousands of shark teeth and for some reason I have found only one semi-pathological tooth, so to me they are very rare finds. That one looks so normal as a tooth,that I would have thought it a different species if you hadn't told me what it was. You should have saved it until 1 April and then posted it under some made up name. Would have been fun to read the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Never, ever, have I seen anything like that; I find it irresistibly disturbing!

Scylla Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Wait a minute! There are teeth in the background behind that pathological. Are they in... in cement? Edited September 22, 2010 by Scylla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootgirl Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 You have all the cool teeth! I like it. I like that little tooth in the matrix behind it as well.

Foshunter Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Wait a minute! There are teeth in the background behind that pathological. Are they in... in cement? It's a sandstone/shell hash found in Texas, the teeth are Cretoxyrhina Mantelli, Squalicorax Falcatus, and some unknown fish teeth, I think some kinda background make you item more interesting.--Thanks for asking--Tom Grow Old Kicking And Screaming !!"Don't Tread On Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
