Summary
Description A very large Carcharocles angustidens tooth, by author Max Hawthorne.jpg |
English:
At over 4.7 inches slant height (the tooth has minor feeding damage, so there is enamel missing from the crown's distal end), this Carcharocles angustidens tooth is exceptionally large. Using standard tooth enamel formulas, it suggests a shark somewhere in the mid-to-upper thirty-foot range (approx. 10-11 meters). Mid-Oligocene, Chandler Bridge formation, Summerville, SC. From the private collection of author Max Hawthorne.
