Guest Cris Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Looks like it's growing good, too.. All those teeth are reaaally nice... Lots of colors.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Very nice. I love some of the colors, especially the light Hemipristis next to the auriculatus and the "striped" mako a couple of rows above it. The darn things just seem to get addictive don't they There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy 55 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 I buy and trade for some of them and find some too in the creeks in gville. The hemis , tigers , and the 3 gray makos in that same row came from gville the auriculatus came from the Suwannee river. And the Makos and great whites that come from shark hill Cal. and Chile do have some great colors. :Thumbs-up: It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I thought some of those looked like hook-tooth makos (Isurus planus) which are pretty much only found around STH in Bakersfield CA. If you ever get a Great White from there, I'd be more than anxious to take it off your hands.

worthy 55 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Ya mean like these? :shark: It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Worthy: (Drooling) If those are from California, we need to talk privately. Also, in case anyone doesn't know, Chile's government has pretty much put a stop to fossils leaving the country. They are now some very desirable specimens. Fortunately there are quite a bit available from old collections, but their price is climbing steadily.

Boesse Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I thought I'd mention that teeth of Isurus planus are also known from the Santa Margarita Formation in Santa Cruz County (Scotts Valley). Also, don't count on ever seeing a single great white from the Sharktooth Hill Bonebed. The one they show on ELASMO.com probably isn't from the bonebed, and its locality data is sketchy to begin with (the only loc. data with the tooth is "Near Bakersfield"; it was probably collected from the nearby and stratigraphically higher Etchegoin or San Joaquin Formations (both are Latest Miocene and Pliocene). If Carcharodon did actually occur in the STH bonebed, there would probably be at least one tooth in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History or University of California Museum of Paleontology (which have the largest collections of STH fossils worldwide), they would exist in those museums. But they don't. Carcharodon carcharias doesn't appear in the rock record until about 6.0-5.5 MYA, just below the Mio-Pliocene boundary. I've got a bunch of them in my collection from Santa Cruz County (Purisima Formation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
