Oftentimes when i pull colorful teeth out of the ground, it's hard to tell how they end up looking after oxidizing over a few days, but will try to post a tooth called zephyr shortly, it's got a really rich dusk purple on the labial side even after oxidizing. My wife and i just returned from a trip out west (western usa for our international friends) which featured a trip to the famous miocene site near bakersfield Ernst quarry or sharktooth hill, whichever name you prefer As most of you know this site it well known for the rich fauna of sharks teet. The fungus causes especially large outbreaks in seasons that are abnormally wet, followed by very hot and dry conditions as are typical in bakersfield (shark tooth hill is practically ground zero for the stuff) and the tar seeps around mckittrick and elsewhere. I recently found a nice shark vertebra on wrightsville beach, north carolina
It's about 1.5 in diameter and 3/8 thick Are there any identifiable differences between shark species' vertebrae or do all shark vertebrae pretty much look the same Wondering if anyone can help identify I am wondering if this is a whale shark tooth It is approximately 3 mm tall and 3mm deep. The arches were cartilaginous in life and disintegrate quickly after death
Because they aren't solid bone, they are fragile. So i approached this as a newbee For fun, pictures of pathological teeth are shown. If you are planning to go to summerville, sc for your first time, and have been hoping to find shark teeth, please read this · i advise only going if you know someone with known locations, or otherwise plan to hire a company or a guide (i do not have someone to recommend) Any beach is liable to have modern shark teeth, however they tend to be significantly more rarer than fossil shark teeth at fossil sites
One must remember fossils have millions of years worth of shark teeth in them. Shark teeth found in venice, fl diving off boat and could use some help confirming id I’m confident on a few of these but would appreciate some help from you pros (first time doing this so forgive me for any newbie errors)
