SawTooth Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Today my dad went out hunting without me, an unusual occurrence but I was busy. So when I arrived back home he showed me his finds, and in the center of the spread I see the first cow shark tooth that either of us had ever found. We're going on a trip together to Summerville in two weeks so, hopefully we can still beat this, but otherwise I think this has made the summer, possibly even the year. And this might be an unprovable question, but what's rarer, a Benedini, or a cow shark? At least in north Florida. Thanks!I might retake some pictures tomorrow, it was late so the lighting isn't great. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawTooth Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 And also is it possible to tell if it is six or seven gill, there might not be enough of it to tell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark57 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I don't know about Florida, but I can answer your question for the mid Atlantic area. Cow shark teeth are nice finds, but I do have 100+ mostly from the Yorktown and Calvert formations. I only have 4 Parotodus benedeni. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I concur. Cow shark teeth are rare in northern Florida and virtually non-existent in South Florida but Parotodus make them look common. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
