milou115 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi all ! I have found this tooth in the french coniacian...it is lower coniacian...It is quite unusual for me to find teeth in France that is why I do not know them at all... If some of the many shark lovers could help me I will be very glad ! Its size is about 2,5cm See you and thank you ! Mil' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilselachian Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 My initial impression is that this tooth is an example of Scapanorhynchus. This opinion is based on several of the photos which exhibit lingual striations on the crown. This genus is quite common in the Cretaceous having been identified from the Aptian to the Mastrichtian in Europe as well as other world-wide locations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'd agree with that as well. It sure looks like a goblin shark (Scapanorhynchus) but I don't know your area all that well 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...
