Dabeel Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) I just found this tooth last week and needed help with the ID. Someone suggested I enter it so here goes: Tooth was found on the bank of an intracoastal waterway about 3 miles from Atlantic beach in Florida (Northeast Fl.) I thought it was possibly a Giant Thresher, but thanks to the help I learned it is a Parotodus benedini. It is currently the best tooth I have found. Its in pretty good shape with some cracking in the gums and missing a small bit of the tip. Length: 2 1/2 Width: 2 1/16 That is Very Nice!

Dabeel Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Here is my run at FOTM for December: A plate from the Texas Anacacho formation consisting of four currently unidentified baculites, approximately thirteen gastropods and mixed coral and shell hash. Enjoy Brian Holy Smokes that is a great submission! Good Luck, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magictom Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hello All, I am new to the forum.. My daughter and I were tooth hunting in the Creeks of Sherman, TX (just down the road) and she found this Carcharocles auriculatus (I think that is the species) I dont find large teeth like this very often (only 3 in the last 10 years.. so this was quite a find for us. This is a wonderful site and you all have some very amazing discoveries!!! Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'll bet your Eo is 75-80 LBS. I have a 17 that is 70 LBS and a 19 that is 90 LBS. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'll bet your Eo is 75-80 LBS. I have a 17 that is 70 LBS and a 19 that is 90 LBS. it's 80.12345 pounds fahrenheit. eo-extrapolation is always such a tenuous proposition, particularly after 2300 hours. and tj probably mis-measured it. it's probably 19.1 inches - wait, is the 19" one your largest? oh, also, we've had a positron scan done on it and it appears to have a marshmallow center! whut?
