PaleoRon Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I actually have time to do a few things this weekend so I thought I would post a few of my fossils. There are two in this group that I did not find. One is from a N. Carolina quarry and the other is from Kazakhstan. The largest teeth in the group are 3 5/8", 3 5/8", and 3 3/4". Both of the 3 5/8" teeth came from the same place. One has large cusps and the other has unusually small cusps. Odd. I found the one with small cusps broken but not completely separated. One of these is is semi-serrated and is transitional between Otodus and Auriculatus. These transitional teeth are very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoRon Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 They say everything is bigger in Texas, but that obviously doesn't go for shark teeth! Next time I get a chance I'll post a pic of a monster two inch Ptychodus mortoni from, you guessed it . . . Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Now that's a whopper mortoni. We call those big Ptychodus "muffin teeth". No need to confirm or deny where you found it, but I'd guess the Kamp Ranch exposure downstream of Inwood Rd near downtown Dallas. My biggest shark teeth from TX are actually Pennsylvanian. Both are Petalodus ohioensis about 2 3/8-2 1/2 inches tall. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
