Angustidens Shark ToothThis lower jaw angustidens tooth is a spike! It's completely symmetrical for that quintessential shark tooth triangle shape. The root is massive, almost like an auriculatus, but not quite. The bourlette is magnificent - Finding this tooth made my day!

| Here's the ground shot - you can just make out the triangle shape in the middle of the picture. The rapids in the water made it tough to get a good photo. |
