Vae70 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Found this interesting tooth walking along the potomac. I believe it is an Otodus Obliquus but the double cusplets give me pause as I have not seen them on example O. Obliquus teeth. Tooth is about 1" in size and is unfortunately missing cusplets on the left side as pictured 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patelinho7 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Looks like it. The cusp could have a pathology? Edited May 31 by patelinho7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bthemoose Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Yes, Otodus obliquus with a split cusplet. Here’s one I found along the Potomac in Maryland as well: Edited May 31 by bthemoose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark57 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I agree with a (possibly pathological) split cusplet. I have several Otodus from there with 2 cusplets on each side. The second cusplet is usually a lot smaller than the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
