Gmr Tooth


brachiomyback

Recommended Posts

As with most teeth at the GMR... they are worn

hoping this is a Parotodus benedeni

.... however also has some characteristics of

Alopias grandis

Carcharocles auriculatus

Otodus obliquus

or for that matter Isurus hastalis

can't tell for sure but there may be some evidence of former serrations

Your opinions are very much appreciated.

Used to have serrations so that means either Carcharodon or Carcharocles. Hard to tell from the images how thick it is. Thick and rounded (on the lingual side) = Carcharocles. Thin and flattened = Carcharodon.

Hey Brad, Im not a betting man, but if I was, I would say Carcharocles Auriculatus. I have seen Rics with that shape from around NC, you can see one cusp in the picture and serrations. Its an interesting tooth regardless.

DO, or do not. There is no try.
