Kentuckiana Mike Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 This tooth was found in what I think is the Indian Springs formation of Crawford County, Indiana. It is Mississippian Period in age. The tooth is about 5 mm is size. Not sure what shark it belongs to though and maybe a knowledgeable reader can help me with its identification. It is exposed on a matrix sheet covered with Fenestella bryozoan.

Archimedes Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 It looks to be a small DELTODUS type tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
