Hey @jacob-polzin, on your posts from Westmoreland you’ve been putting Calvert & Eastover, instead you should put Calvert or Eastover. Since the fossils were found on the beach the tooth could have come from either formation, but we know it didn’t come from both formations. I’ve been editing it when I notice it, but just wanted to point it out for any of your future posts.
Oh awesome, thanks for letting me know. Will do! @vperez
All the ones I could fix have been updated @vperez
Thanks Jacob!
Hi @jacob-polzin, I meant to mention in my first comment that this tooth looks like Galeocerdo aduncus to me rather than Physogaleus. Could you update that as well?
Yeah no problem! I have difficulty telling the two species apart, can I ask what gave it away so I can better classify them in the future? @vperez
Sure thing, it definitely can be challenging to distinguish them! Physogaleus has a more robust root, has a twist towards the top of the crown, and often has finer serrations. I like to use this website to help ID shark teeth http://elasmo.com/
Thank you so much for the support! @vperez
