ODDS and ENDS
Some miscellaneous photographs to close out 2009.

Galeocerdo eaglesomei
Age - Eocene
As far as I can determine the first report of this species being found
in NJ was by Steve B. in 2007.

Crocodile scute
Age - Cretaceous

Isurus praecursor lateral
Age - Eocene

Top left - Anterior Hemipristis serra
Calvert Cliffs, MD
Top Right - Upper anterior cow shark (Notorynchus sp)
Bottom - Xiphodolamia ensis

Top row
Hemipristis serra
Galeocerdo contortus with pyrite replacement
Bottom row
Alopias latidens
Xiphodolamia ensis

Archaeolamna kopingensis
Age - Cretaceous
Just shy of an inch, this is one of larger teeth of this species
I've found.

Carcharocles auriculatus
I can't really call this one a heartbreaker as it's not broken, the
root is just poorly fossilized.
I estimate this tooth would have been in the 3" range if complete.

Sand tigers
Carcharias cuspidata
