Tooth Count
The first upper anterior count is shown under the graph.
 Note: the UA1 position is very consistent in appearance and could not be reliably differentiated to subset "a" or "b." However, it's position on the graph and characters ally it with subset "b."

 Sorting methods

1. All teeth from Mike Folmer's collection were separated from the clay and other material of a single horizon.

2. Several pounds of shark teeth were sorted to species.

3. Above process was repeated by laying teeth out oriented in the same manner and comparing characters.

4. S. macrota was isolated and sorted to upper and lower teeth.

5. Upper and lower teeth of S. macrota sorted to position.

6. Each position was sorted to subset a and subset b.

7. The above process was repeated by laying the teeth out in an ontological series. Lateral teeth were grouped according to distal slant and height of blade relative to width.

8. All positions for subset a and subset b were sorted to right and left sides.

9. Teeth on the right and left sides, for every position, were counted and graphed.
