Sharktoothguy11222 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Where is it supposed to be from ? That's just the thing. The only info I could find on it was "Otodus isoelicus was named by Lawley (1876). It is not a trace fossil.

Guest bmorefossil Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Where is it supposed to be from ? well it exists, but I can only find one site that even mentions the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 well it exists, but I can only find one site that even mentions the name. Could it be that it was named, but not accepted or deemed a junior synonym of another species? The only references to it on the web are the Paleobiology database There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only references to it on the web are the Paleobiology database that would make sense but you would think that the name could be found somewhere else.
