non-remanié Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 If it is Cretaceous it would probably be a Scapanorhynchus texanus lateral. ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharktoothguy11222 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Saw the same tooth on eBay yesterday. I think its some type of mackeral shark, maybe, but other than that, I'm lost Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I don't think it's cretaceous as this seller finds their teeth around South Carolina. I was thinking some kind of Sand-Tiger, but I still trying to nail it down. Nothing on elasmo.com seems to be an exact match.

I was thinking some kind of Sand-Tiger, but I still trying to nail it down. Nothing on elasmo.com seems to be an exact match. There is Cretaceous material in SC and in NC which they easily could also have collected. It could be Serratolamna sp. but I really think it looks more like Scapanorhynchus. Can someone pm me a link to the ebay page? Don't worry I definitely won't be bidding on it against any of you guys :> ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I didn't know about the Cretaceous deposits there, so I went back to elasmo and found what may be a match. Toothpuller had the Goblin shark part correct, but it looks a lot like the Anomotodon plicatus that is pictured on the site. It says the age for that species is upper Cretaceous (Santonian-Maastrichtian), does that suit the deposits around the area????

We do not get Anomotodon in the Cretaceous of NJ but all that I have collected of the genus (Eocene NJ, Eocene VA & Paleocene MD) are much smaller than Scapanorhynchus texanus which matches perfectly with the size of the mystery tooth. The cusp shape varies in Scapanorhynchus. I have teeth that look exactly like this one from NJ. Since Anomotodon extends into the Eocene, then perhaps it is more likely than Scapanorhynchus to be found in SC, but I can't say for sure. I still think it looks more like S. texanus. I know there are mixed age heavily reworked sites in SC that produce megs, modern great whites, as well as Cretaceous teeth. -steve ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
