gwbh Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Found a lot of good shark teeth and fossils the past two days. Among them were some first time finds, what I believe to be my first hubble meg tooth (not sure what exactly makes it a hubble), my first mammal k-9 tooth (not sure what kind) (just had these confirmed to be croc teeth through the ID section of the forum.) and my first whale bone with what i think could be meg feeding damage. Im not an expert but i'm pretty sure my ID's are correct. I also found an gigantic whale vertabra. Day one-Day two-Hubble?

earthdog Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hubbell teeth are considered neonatal teeth. They are symmetrical teeth of newborn and very young megalodons. As mentioned above they are heart shaped. They tend to have what some collectors call "Mickey Mouse ears," where the left and right edges of the root of the tooth are more rounded and more bulbous than other teeth, like the large ears of Mickey Mouse. Also, where the root indents, between these two "ears" tends to be a deeper indent than on other teeth. Lastly, the middle of the blade of the tooth protrudes out more than on other teeth, giving it a slightly wider and sometimes more stout than usual look. Hubbell teeth are named after Dr. Gordon Hubbell, a retired veterinarian and world famous researcher of fossil and extant sharks. He is the high priest of the cult of Megalodon.
