Northern Sharks Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Looks like a Serratolamna aschersoni with a pathologic curve to the blade. 4 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...
sharkdoctor Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Interesting. Serratolamna cf. khderii, and Serratolamna serrata are present in the region: https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2012AM/webprogram/Paper212641.html https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jacques_LeBlanc/publication/280042253_A_fossil_hunting_guide_to_the_Tertiary_formations_of_Qatar_2008/links/55a51a8e08aef604aa0421eb.pdf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
