Abstract

V prispevku je obravnavan razmeroma skromen ostanek zoba manjšega primerka miocenskega morskega volka najdenega v Orehovici na Dolenjskem, ki pripada vrsti Megaselachus megalodon (Agassiz, 1835). Zobje tovrstnega največjega morskega psa vseh časov so v Sloveniji precej redki, vse dosedanje najdbe so iz miocenskih plasti.
