Carcharocles subauriculatus Teeth From Lee Creek

PCS Phosphate Mine near Aurora, NC

Carcharocles subauriculatus is an old name recently re-introduced by one paleontologist who we rarely agree with.  In this case this "species splitting" makes a little sense.  We have found teeth that do not fit in either Carcharocles angustidens or Carcharocles chubutensis species.  We will call them by the old/new name just to differentiate them.  They have characteristics of both species but certainly not C. auriculatus and C. angustidens, as the paleontologist intended.  Carcharocles subangustidens would be a much more appropriate name, but this one could not be found in old taxa nomenclature. We have just acquired a large number of these Carcharocles species teeth and will be adding them to these webpages as we can. Please check back.
