Largemouth Bass Posted Tuesday at 11:54 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:54 PM I found this tooth as a float in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Thinking it is a from a male bigeye thresher based on the dentition on elasmo, but the varying thickness of the root has me scratching my head a bit. Length is 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted Wednesday at 12:02 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:02 AM (edited) Looks more like a P. contortus to me, but I only find tiny threshers here, so see what others say. Edited Wednesday at 12:05 AM by Fin Lover 2 Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted Wednesday at 08:23 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:23 AM Looks like Alopias. Not sure which species. The European ones with this form are called Alopias exigua. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark57 Posted Wednesday at 12:51 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:51 PM This is probably from the Calvert formation and looks like a good match for A. superciliosis. I would not be too concerned about some variability in the root as there are uppers and lowers, and multiple tooth positions (and Elasmo shows only a couple of these). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
