Miocene_Mason Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I found this very tiny hemi a while back (Brownies beach). I was wondering if anyone could tell me the placement? This is the whole tooth (but it’s rootless) not the top of it. Thanks. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s right.

MarcoSr Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 If you believe Compagno 1988 the extant Hemipristis elongatus only has a single upper posterior tooth (see below) and two lower posterior teeth (see below). Assuming H. serra had a similar dentition, your tooth would be an upper lateral. Marco Sr. 1 "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."
