Sharktoothguy11222 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hi all, I was just wondering if any of you know what species of shark these three teeth cam from. They all came from the Bone Valley in 2003. I was debating with myself if they were either Carcharinus leucas, or Carcharinus obscurus, but I can't get it. It might also be another carcharinus species. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Daniel Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbstedman Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Grays (or Requiems) are tough. I think you have C. leucas (Bull) teeth here. How big are these teeth? Besides fossils, I collect roadcuts, Stream beds, Winter beaches: Places of pilgrimage. Jasper Burns, Fossil Dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I forgot to put measurements. The first(according to the pictures) is 1.9 cm in height, and 2.1 cm in length The second is 1.9 cm in height, and 2.4 cm in length The third is 1.9 cm in height, and 2.3 cm in length Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham!

Northern Sharks Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?sh...35&hl=DUSKY This link should help explain the differences somewhat. I agree that requiem/gray sharks can be nasty to ID, but your teeth, I'm 99% sure, are Bull shark (C.leucas). I don't think I've ever heard of Dusky's coming from Bone Valley. 1 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...

Thanks Northern Sharks, I'll relable them C. leucas then. I see the similarities now. Thanks, Daniel Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
