FossilForKids Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I thought this is a neat way to show how some species have changed. If only my teeth are so prized a million years from now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Sharks Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Great topic. I have a small collection of modern jaws to match my fossil specimens. Since Hemi's are taken care of, here are a couple of others. An upper and lower Blue shark (Peru - 4 million yrs old) and the Great White twins, at just under 2", with the fossil coming from South Carolina. More to come, but my camera batteries just died. 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...
