MikeDOTB Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Age is determined by species and geologic formation. It's fooling me because they look like sand tigers mostly with some older tiger shark species. What other kinds of teeth do you find in that location? DO, or do not. There is no try.

It's fooling me because they look like sand tigers mostly with some older tiger shark species. What other kinds of teeth do you find in that location? We've found several Megalodon teeth, cow, mako, and some others as well. There's pictures from our previous trip to that spot at http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/38288-fossil-id-help/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieronymus Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Seems like you're hunting in an area with mixed deposits. The megs, cows and makos point to Miocene sediments, but I also see Striatolamia macrota and perhaps some Otodus auriculatus teeth as well, pointing towards Eocene deposits. A few additional pics of the diversity of your (shark) finds might help!

flyersfan805 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hey Damage, As an fyi, you are hunting in the Yorktown/Piney Point formations. The James river is a wash out of both, which is why you will find both miocene and eocene material along the banks. mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
