More Charcharodon photos

Here are a few more shots of the megalodon pictured below...

A couple more sharks from the Miocene (12mya) and Pliocene (2 mya), of Santa Cruz.

I collected these back in the early years of my engagement in paleontology.  Looking at these beautifully-adapted structures it is no wonder that sharks are such a successful line of creatures evolutionarily.



Santa Margarita Fm., perhaps Isurus.

Purisima Fm. Charcharodon, immaculately preserved.

Charcharodon from Santa Cruz, 2 million years ago.

This was one of my more exciting discoveries from years past.
