Squalicorax shark tooth fossil


Recommended Posts

Recently joined a fossil hunting group (Fossils Galore based in March UK) and the organiser sent me a complimentary Squalicorax shark tooth fossil. On a wet afternoon decided to photograph the specimen; it's 30mm wide and 20mm deep.  The shark is also known as the Crow Shark because of its scavenging habits - its teeth have been found embedded in dinosaur foot bones. There are several different subspecies of Squalicorax and their fossil remains are found worldwide. Specimen was placed in a small home-made light tent constructed using engineers' drafting film; tent illuminated with two £10 Jansjo LED lamps.
