My Moroccan Shark Tooth Scores From the 2024 Tucson Gem Mineral and Fossil Show
Рет қаралды 148
5 ай бұрынMoroccan fossils were abundant at the 2024 Tucson Gem Mineral and Fossil Show. Quality specimens, however, were not; Moroccan fossils are notorious for the abundance of fabricated and sneakily (and not-so-sneakily) repaired/restored specimens. In this video, we go over some of our favorite, hand-picked Moroccan fossil shark teeth we had picked up at the show.

Paleocarcharodon did not evolve into megalodon , it was a dead end.

That is true; Palaeocarcharodon, while being a relative to C. megalodon within the same family Otodontidae, is not an ancestor to C. megalodon. Palaeocarcharodon is, in my opinion, either a sister taxa to Otodus, or is possibly evolved from the earlier-splitting otodontid shark Kenolamna (which would require a very long-spanning ghost lineage).
