My first modern tiger shark tooth from the Pliocene land site, and it's a beauty. This is probably my best modern tiger shark tooth from South Carolina. This tooth was found in February 2011.

Big Cuvier Vert with a prize inside

Found just a bit of this big 'n exposed while crawling around the Yorktown. Thought it was a tuna vert at first, given the size. Was very pleased when I removed enough silt to reveal what it was-- a whopper of a tiger shark vert. To make it even better, when I turned it over, stuck to the dirt on the bottom was a small I. hastalis/xiphodon tooth. Definitely made my day.... |

1 1/2" Tiger Shark Tooth
Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA - Galeocerdo cuvier |
|
|
|
This is without a doubt the biggest tiger shark tooth I've ever seen. I never expected to find it at Lafarge, either! Its from a marine pleistocene layer consisting of sand and pebbles that I never even knew existed before today. t$ found a big tiger today, too. The excavators must have recently hit a layer that isn't evenly distributed over the property. That might explain why we've never found big tigers there before.... |
