3 months, 3 weeks ago3 months, 3 weeks agoMy son wanted this to add to his collection. We were told it was a prehistoric animal that would relate to a salmon today. It seems like the sediment is sandstone. What is this fossil of though? #fossil

Hello, this looks a lot like an Enchodus jaw. You’re welcome to check the images on Google images.
-
Looks like one of the many fakes that come out of Morocco. often the teeth are real but the rest is faked. The bone here is too flat and oddly textured, and the teeth spacing and order doesn’t make sense. There’s a good writeup at fossil era (I don’t know them as a business, just like the…[Read more]

I agree with both of these responses. Enchodus teeth are real, but the jaw bones are not.
-
Enchodus is an extinct genus of aulopiform ray-finned fish related to lancetfish and lizardfish. Species of Enchodus flourished during the Late Cretaceous, and there is some evidence that they may have survived to the Paleocene or Eocene.

Thank you everyone. I figured the jaw was made for aesthetics. I looked up the Enchodus species and it seems like it is accurate. Thank you for all of your responses.

If the tooth has fine serrations with a thicker body you have a lovely megalodon tooth albeit a small one. Great whites have coarser serrations with a thinner body. Serrations are not very visible.
-
Yep it looks like a megalodon
-
@kristen-wochele this is not a megalodon, but actually an ancestral white shark (Carcharodon hastalis). Nice find! Would you mind adding a picture of the other side of the tooth with a coin or ruler for scale?
-
@mason-hintermeister hi just just posted two more pictures on this post. Thank you!
-
@mason-hintermeister I’m also wondering if it’s an extinct mako shark.
-
@kristen-wochele Hello! Many collectors call this species an extinct mako due to the fact it was once placed in the mako genus (Isurus). It has been clear for several decades now that this species is actually an ancestor to the great white (genus Carcharodon), the only difference between this tooth (Carcharodon hastalis) and a great white…[Read more]
