Shark teeth

Photo: Shark Teeth Fossil

Shark teeth from a Mako shark, Isurus species. Isurus shark teeth are common in our SLAC sediment. The sandstone rock on which the teeth are displayed contains a small fragment of fossil bone. It is from the same sandstone formation in which the Paleoparadoxia was discovered. Several mako shark teeth were found between the ribs and other bones.
