Love some paleocarcharodons!!!

 

I’ll have to take a few pics later tonight. I think I have a good representation of a transitional one. Half serrated half not.

Paleocarcharodon Orientalis 

Ouled Abdoun Phosphate beds

Oued Zem, Morocco

 

best representation of what I have as a “transitional”.  Such a shame that this species only lasted during the Paleocene.

Love the small ones, you don't see those too often, most people are looking for the largest best quality tooth. The small ones are much harder to get. Thanks!

 

Absolutely. Hexanchus and notorynchus are my favorite species.  Nothing tops the strangeness of a cow shark to me

Really nice teeth Guys, but what is the sizes of them?

Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

I updated the geology info on the teeth like the one above. Also, here's a stratigraphical section of the formation that includes the fossil beds B1 and B2.
