4 months ago4 months ago@bill-heim The specimen number is my own naming scheme for specimens in my personal collection. I have the coordinates from a GPS app from my smartphone, I just didn’t include it since the website is visible to the public and @kevin-kelly is doing a survey of the sharks at that locality with the LA County Natural History Museum. This will be…[Read more]

Tooth roots are as important or sometimes more important for identification as the blade. With a missing root, ID would only be an educated guess.

1 year, 2 months ago1 year, 2 months agoHi, @Kevin-Kelly. I see that this tooth is pretty destroyed. At the very least, we can identify it as a shark tooth, so the taxonomy should be Kingdom -> Animalia, Phylum -> Chordata, Class -> Chondrichthyes

1 year, 2 months ago1 year, 2 months agoHi, @Kevin-Kelly. The info and photos here look good to me, but I’ll tag in @Bill-Heim to check the ID.
-
Due to size and serrations I would have to agree with the ID

1 year, 2 months ago1 year, 2 months agoHi, @Kevin-Kelly! I think the Pico formation is Pliocene in age. I will tag in @Bill-Heim for ID confirmation.
-
It looks like a meg but could also be a great white. Let me point out again that missing roots make ID difficult or even impossible.

ID looks correct

1 year, 2 months ago1 year, 2 months agoHi, @Kevin-Kelly! I suspect this is a crab claw but photos from other sides and angles would be useful.

1 year, 2 months ago1 year, 2 months agoHi, @Kevin-Kelly, I’m thinking this is part of an Oyster (genus Ostrea).

1 year, 2 months ago1 year, 2 months agoHi, @Kevin-Kelly! I’m thinking this is half of a bivalve. It’s pretty poorly preserved though, I’m not sure we could ID it past that.

1 year, 3 months ago1 year, 3 months agoHi @Kevin-Kelly, would you be willing to change the genus name?
-
Hi Sam, just checked. Typing ‘Physogaleus contortus’ into the taxon wizard fills in details for Galeocerdo contortus.
-
I went ahead and typed it in here too.

1 year, 3 months ago1 year, 3 months agoHi @Kevin-Kelly, I think the best thing to do here is to change the taxonomy to reflect Physogaleus sp.
-
Same issue here, selecting “Physogaleus contortus” w/taxon wizard autopopulates the info for “Galeocerdo contortus”
-
I think our best bet is to manually type it in in these situations. Thanks for letting me know about this problem!
