1 3/8" Angustidens Shark ToothA nice little tooth with a few nicked serrations towards the tip. I've noticed the cusps of the angys found from the ashley marl look a little different from the ones of the chandler bridge. I was thinking maybe the angys from the ashley marl are a type of species that has just evolved from the auriculatus species and are slowly changing to angustidens. I still don't have enough angys from the marl to prove this yet though and maybe I could just be wrong.

| This is a close up on one of the cusps on the tooth and it looks a little odd shaped. I think this tooth is a lateral position or one closer to the back end up the sharks jaw. |

| The first nice angy of the day and I was lucky the tooth was stuck in loose marl, so I was able to easily extract it from the layer. |
