I don't have all that many teeth like a lot of collectors here in this Forum, but I have found, purchased or traded for a few fishy things along the way.

Update New Year's 2019: The collection has been growing thanks to trades, purchases and my own field finds.

Thanks. It's been growing lately. I usually restrict the majority of my collection to fossils which I have found, or at least prepared myself, but although I like fish teeth, they are not all that common or diverse in this area, so I've made the exception and taken to trading and purchasing them more recently.

    • @Fin Lover, this ID is based on input that @siteseer provided here: 
       
    • Based on the enamel "shelf" on the labial side, I would have IDed this as a retroflexus.  May I ask what features indicate desori?  
    • Oh! I am so sorry for the late reply as I never got the notification. Sadly I have not, besides a familial (mostly superficial) resemblence to the modern ratfish (probably from the same diet) I have not gotten any clear answers. 

       
       
      Jokes aside, a true Id may never come unless far into the future. I still have hope one day someone can help with this ID. 
    • Nice Point! I really like the color of the chert!
    • Such a pretty tooth! I love the colors and the cusplets
    • Bucket list… only half of one so far. That’s just lovely. It’s absolutely still, “delicate”. I don’t know if that makes sense. Of course it’s delicate, but I just mean its vibe is still contained. The broken pieces, even if large and visibly pretty, are missing the delicacy of a sand dollar. So they feel like a piece of fossil instead of what they are. 
       
      Sorry for rambling. Currently looking through your awesome pictures to try and find a new tooth I found. 
       
      Jp
    • I enjoy finding these teeth because every one of them has had a different variation of the cusps.
    • Interesting tooth, cusps remind me of araloselachus from germany
    • Beautiful tooth!  I really like the contrast between the root/enamel.
       
      Also, great photography throughout your album
       
    • The cusplets are present in all great whites, they are an ontogenetic feature and not geographically restricted. Nice tooth, it looks like a juvenile lower lateral. See below for an idea of the neonate dentition.
