Webby Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Thought I'd display a few of my favorite teeth for you guys (and gals) who are also at home on a friday night First the GW's! Now my Makos. Take a look at the center one (one of my favorite) it's kinda hard to tell but it has "tiger stripes" running horizontally through the tooth and its orange. And now for the grande finale.........the smallest cow shark tooth the world has ever seen!!!!

Shellseeker Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I like your tooth in matrix. Here is one that combines the old (approx. 2 mya Mako) with the new (a 30 year old 8 inch spike). found 2/13/2010 in Peace River, Wauchula The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 And now for the grande finale.........the smallest cow shark tooth the world has ever seen!!!! Nice group of teeth. Its hard to tell from the photo but I believe your cowshark might be a piece of the distal end of a tiger shark tooth (Galeocerdo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Nice group of teeth. Its hard to tell from the photo but I believe your cowshark might be a piece of the distal end of a tiger shark tooth (Galeocerdo). Agreed, there is a posibility it is the end of a tiger but what is soooo hard to take a photo of is the root itself. the root on this little sucker is VERY thin, as in paper thin and it doesn't seem to have any wear on the root. Here's the best photo I could get of the root to show how thin this tooth is MEGS on da REG! http://coastalfossiladventures.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickNC Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 RickNC, I think I speak for us all when I say I would LOVE to see your collection of whites. By far my favorite tooth! I can try to get em up. I am no photographer and I have some with nice colors and patterns that I would like to come out in the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking pictures outside usually gives the best result if you dont have an really expensive camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbyte Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hello, Fantastic collection and looking at the thinness of that last tooth. I am going to agree with you and call it a Cowshark tooth. Innocent until proven guilty I always say. Either way, great eyes seeing that little rascal.
