xevanatorx Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have found some teeth that look like they are megladon, not chubutensis, but are serrated and I was wondering which one they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Post some pictures. I believe both are serrated. Oh, ... and it's spelled MEGALODON.

PrehistoricFlorida Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 All megalodon and chubutensis teeth are serrated. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 All megalodon and chubutensis teeth are serrated. Or at least were. Very eroded/worn examples may not show serrations, but they were there originally.

FossilDAWG Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Maybe it's the Scottish version: Meg_LAD_in, emphasis on the "LAD". Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verydeadthings Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Yep! In fact, the shape of Megalodon serrations has been used as evidence for the hypothesis that modern great white sharks are more closely related to extinct mako sharks (genus Isurus) than the megatooth sharks (Megalodon). Unfortunately, although I have read it through university access, the paper is behind a pay wall (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1671/0272-4634(2006)26%5B806%3ATTAOTG%5D2.0.CO%3B2). You might be able to get the full pdf somewhere, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adron Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think that's pretty obvious, since C. hastalis is the ancestor of the Great white . C. megalodon has a lot of ancestors, don't exactly know which one was the first, Cretolamna? But as far as I know our megalodon has nothing to do with Great White or other Isurus species.
