Size and large serrations make it look like Carcharodon carcharias vice megalodon. I also don’t see remnants of the chevron shaped bourlette. Note: Specific Epithet does not include the C. Also genus is capitalized, species is not. So it should read Genus – Carcharodon. Specific epithet – carcharias – family Lamnidae). Author is (Linnaeus). Parens indicate the genus was changed from the original but the species is the same. Make changes and I will mark it as Research grade. It is from an unusual location.
Corrections made. Thanks
Excellent, marked as research grade. Very little material comes out of Louisiana which makes it special even if it is incomplete.
I want change location to Natchitoches parish, Notes to Remy Cr. Black sand marl, add formation to Cane River
Cane River is middle Eocene, that would change the specimen to Family – Otodontidae, Genus – Carcharocles or Otodus (still up in the air but leaning towards Otodus, either is acceptable), specific epithet – aksuaticus, Author – (Menner). Age is Lutetian. Do you want me to make the changes?
Please, and thanks for your help.
