siteseer Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The roots of shark teeth tend to be rather porous and therefore more fragile than the enameloid-coated crowns. They are more vulnerable to water-wear. If they end up in a deposit where fossils are not well-mineralized, the roots are often incomplete or easily damaged (crumbly). Even where teeth are often found well-mineralized (like the Sharktooth Hill Bonebed), you will find specimens with weathered roots. I have noticed that the roots do not often preserve well in chalks. I have seen shark teeth from Picardy before. There is a quarry near Abbeville. I was told the formation is called "La Craie de Picardi" (the Picardy Chalk). Very nice. Any thoughts on why the root of these teeth most of the time are missing ? I have seen the same on some other locations and don't quite undestand why. Funny to read that apparantly Patrick has been able to point you in the right direction, it's not his backyard by far..... greets,marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
