Hey dtbjunkie. Ive never found too many sharks teeth over the years, but now that I see what you have, it makes me wonder what my son found at that shark tooth hill place in bakersfeild a few years back? We did find some shark teeth, but we also found a few verts from whatever kind of animals, but when we brought the verts home and started to clean them up, my son found a tooth that has several of those cusps thingys. I have no idea where its at right now, but im guessing it has about 8 to 10 of em on this one tooth? And its still stuck onto the vert! If I can ever come across it again I will take some photos. But any ideas would be great. Thanks RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffAddicted Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Keep your eye out for the symphyseal, it looks like a crown. Those are my favorite. I wish someone would show me the difference between sixgill and sevengill. I would love to see a lot of both next to each other. s1.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffAddicted Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Some of my cow sharks. There is another type of tooth that looks like a broken cow, only 2 cones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Some of my cow sharks. There is another type of tooth that looks like a broken cow, only 2 cones. Hey Cliffaddicted, thats exactly what it is!!! Wow!!! It has a much much bigger rooth than the ones you show in your photos. Are there more than one kind of cow shark? And just what in the heck does a cow shark look like? And Cris, the tooth I have is stuck "onto" the very, and not "into" the vert. I wish it was the other way around though.

Northern Sharks Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Here's my humble collection of cow sharks. Counter-clockwise from the upper left is a pathologic upper tooth of Hexanchus gigas (sixgill), a lower H. gigas both from Chile, Notorhynchus primigenius (sevengill) from Lee Creek, Weltonia ancistrodon and Hexanchus microdon, both from the eocene of Morocco. The largest tooth measures 1 5/8" for scale. The second photo is the living sharpnose sevengill shark (Heptranchias perlo). This is a good size jaw for the species and the lower teeth are about 1/2 long.

Guest Cris Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 And Cris, the tooth I have is stuck "onto" the vert, and not "into" the vert. I wish it was the other way around though. RB Ahh, I misread... I wonder if anyone's found a tooth stuck in a bone/vert before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ahh, I misread... I wonder if anyone's found a tooth stuck in a bone/vert before. I don't have one, but I've seen a seal vertabra with a tooth stuck in it. I think Geofossil has a bone with a dinosaur tooth stuck in it as well.

Sharktoothguy11222 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Wow, those are some nice sevengill teeth. The only cow shark teeth I have are Notorhynchus primigenisis, and Weltonia ancistrodon. Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Here is a tooth through a bone. on the other side, you can see the root of the tooth, and the root of another tooth that is broken off in it, but doesn't make it all the way through.

Harry Pristis Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Wow, those are some nice sevengill teeth. The only cow shark teeth I have are Notorhynchus primigenisis, and Weltonia ancistrodon. Well, you're not eligible to be in our inner circle of shark tooth collectors without at least three species of cow sharks! Now, I just happen to have some very nice, very inexpensive Hexanchus microdon teeth over on the Trades and Sales sub-forum. One of these teeth could be your ticket into the club!

PaleoRon Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 So if three species of cow shark get you in the club, what do you get if you have at least nine species, not including three modern species? I have Notidanodon loosi, Notidanodon lanceolatus, Weltonia ancistrodon, Hexanchus microdon, Hexanchus agassizi, Hexanchus gigas, Hexanchus andersoni, Notorhynchus kempi, and Notorhynchus primigenius. They are from seven foreign countries, Chile, Peru, Morocco, England, France, Kazakhstan, and Russia, and five states in the U.S., Md., Va., N.C., S.C., and Ca.
