MikeDOTB Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) After the most recent Great White Monster was just posted, it got me to wondering if anyone has ever seen a 3" Lower Great White. If you have a photo of one, or if you have one in your collection, how bout posting some photos. And even if its not 3"; if you have a big lower tooth, post it anyways! Thanks for any response! Edited July 1, 2011 by MikeDOTB DO, or do not. There is no try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, how many great white lowers over 2.5" do you have in total??? Steve, thanks for the assist! 5/8 inch thick. That's by far the largest lower I have, the next largest is 2 inch (would have been 2 1/4 if the tip hadn't been busted off) from GMR.

That's by far the largest lower I have, the next largest is 2 inch (would have been 2 1/4 if the tip hadn't been busted off) from GMR. Thats quite a size difference. How often have you wandered GMR looking for shark teeth? Complete lowers are just completely rare. I have 4-5 that are complete, 3 that are absolutely gorgeous. But the anterior lower teeth on the larger side are just extremely rare. I have seen found by other people or myself probably two dozen Great Whites at 2 1/2" or larger and only one of them was a lower jaw tooth. If you look at lowers, that number rises to maybe 125 perfect teeth and maybe 8 of them had been lowers. I know its normal that upper teeth are more commonly found then lower teeth for many species. But I am just surprised there still isnt a lot of large lowers posted on the internet. Just random thought of the day I guess. Hopefully someone else will post some big lowers they have. Found or purchased or acquired in a trade. Lets see em! DO, or do not. There is no try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
