Edisto River Isurus Praecursor Mako Shark Tooth
Colleton County, South Carolina, USA - Isurus praecursor |
|
|
|
The blade on this tooth is super sharp. I want to say this is a Isurus Praecursor. These teeth are known to be Eocene in age. I found it lying above the green clay in the Edisto.

This was the heartbreaker of the day. It looked perfect from the labial side but my heart sank when I flipped it over. The gloomy feeling didn't last long as I realized that it was still an awesome tooth - cool cusps!... |

This was the heartbreaker of the day. It looked perfect from the lingual side but my heart sank when I flipped it over. The gloomy feeling didn't last long as I realized that it was still an awesome tooth - cool cusps!... |

1 3/16" Eocene Mako Tooth
Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA - Isurus praecursor |

This tooth came out of one of the few places where the raw Eocene formation is exposed in this stream. I had to shovel in the equivalent of three or four screen fulls of black sand to get the screen bottom covered with gravel. I usually find beat up Striatolamia teeth and even a Ric blade or two, but this was the last thing I was expecting. The tooth was in absolutely pristine condition when I found it, though after a fall on my kitchen floor (Ahhhhh!), one of the root lobes chipped. It now live... |

This tooth came out of one of the few places where the raw Eocene formation is exposed in this stream. I had to shovel in the equivalent of three or four screen fulls of black sand to get the screen bottom covered with gravel. I usually find beat up Striatolamna teeth and even a Ric blade or two, but this was the last thing I was expecting to pop up. The tooth was in absolutely pristine condition when I found it, though after a fall on my kitchen floor (Ahhhhh!), one of the root lobes chipped. I... |

I believe this is a back tooth of a praecursor mako and its almost all root. This little thing is so bad it can stand on its root like the big ricks.... |

I found this tooth on the way back to the truck at the end of an already great day at Lafarge. I was carrying a 25 pound vertebra over my back, but still I was scanning the ground for any last scraps. Its amazing that a tooth this awesome and exposed wasn't found earlier.... |

This isn't the biggest I. Praecursor I've ever seen, but it’s the best I've found to date. The last time I went to the mine I found one, but it was pitted all over the root so I couldn't bring myself to put up a closeup. This one is killer, though, and is a good representative specimen. The red on the tip is kinda cool looking.... |
