Abdounia sp.

MATERIAL

A dozen isolated teeth, figured material includes FSAC Bouj-344 .

DESCRIPTION AND REMARKS

Some rare medium-sized shark teeth (Fig. 4E, F) with low or incipient cusplets correspond to a large unnamed Abdounia species previously observed in the middle to late Eocene of Egypt (included in C. frequens in Case & Cappetta 1990: pl.7, fig. 147; Underwood et al. 2011: fig. 2F). Occasional in MI, this unnamed species becomes common in GE A-C and younger series (Underwood et al. 2011).
