THobern Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah, I heard about that one too. Bone Valley cuts through the formations at which H. serra was at its largest. Same with Lee Creek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 What is the range of sizes for hemi teeth? This one I found in the Peace River is about 1.5" That's right about as big as I ever found in Virginia's Calvert Formation; the condition of them there, BTW, can be outstanding.

siteseer Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 What is the range of sizes for hemi teeth? This one I found in the Peace River is about 1.5" I found postings online of teeth as large as 1.88" Just curious. This topic was discussed elsewhere on this forum earlier this year, I think. I would say any hemi over 1.5 inches is big. A 2-incher is like a 6-inch meg (something on the want list) for anyone who avidly collects shark teeth. Any increment over 2 inches is quite rare. Few people have even a photo of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Its a very nice tooth. Those are some of my favorites, good find.
