4 days, 10 hours ago4 days, 10 hours agoHi @Kevin-Kelly. It appears this specimen is missing geochronology data and that the genus and specific epithet are mismatched.

4 days, 13 hours ago4 days, 13 hours agoHi, @Ellie-Russell! The eMuseum can only accept specimen entries if they have only one individual fossil, so I must mark this as “not a specimen”. However, if you do want to enter these individually, we can work together on identifying them.

5 days, 6 hours ago5 days, 6 hours agoHi, @corina-fernandes! Favosites went extinct during the Permian-Triassic transition, so the time period on this is wrong (or perhaps the ID is wrong). Unfortunately, I’m not too great with coral IDs, so I’m going to tag in @JBauer and @Mackenzie-Smith.

5 days, 6 hours ago5 days, 6 hours agoHi, @Kevin-Kelly! @Bill-Heim or @VPerez should be able to confirm this ID for you!
-
Looks similar to the Carcharhinus limbatus @Bill-Heim ID’d last week (https://www.myfossil.org/dwc-specimen/63582/)
-
Very interesting specimen in that it is a transitional form. Modern upper C. limbatus have fine serrations on the cusp. Earlier (prior to Miocene) Carcharhinids often have an unserrated cusps. This tooth has partial and incomplete serrations. New species’ names have often be determined on such minor details.
-
Whoa. Are you saying we may have found something new? How is that confirmed?
-
We would need further specimens and then check all of the literature which for that species is probably very extensive. And after all of this it would have a good likely hood of being rejected as too similar to the modern species.
-
Specimens and literature. On it.

Is this also from Calvert, MD?

Also, I think the Calvert formation is Miocene.

In addition, I believe the Calvert formation is Miocene in age.

Do you have any geochronology data? I think the Calvert is Miocene.
-
Otodus obliquus and it is NOT from the Calvert formation, unless reworked which is possible but unlikely. It would have to be found in situ for that to be the case and there is no location data posted.

See that too, fixed.
Also the taxon wizard doesn’t contain Carcharodon planus, I can only select to the level of Carcharodon, then forced to type planus in the species field manually. Is there a way to add Carcharodon planus to the taxon wizard?
