Rare Eocene Cow Shark Hexanchus agassizi This is a rare find from Lafarge. I’ve been hunting at
Lafarge for six years and this is my first complete super hero specimen from
the quarry. I counted thirteen cones on this tooth. The thirteenth cone is very
tiny and hard to see from the photos. Not one single cone is damaged and the root
is all there too.

| In this photo I put the Hexanchus agassizi next to a Hexanchus gigas (width 1 9/16”) for size reference. To give you a better idea on how small it looks. |
