In 2006, I found an associated group of Latoplatecarpus sp. skeletal elements in the Upper Cretaceous Ozan Formation of Central Texas, U.S.A. Initial photographic identification was made with the assistance of Mike Everhart as a Plioplatecarpus (based on the quadrates found). However, in late 2015, Joshua Lively identified it as a Latoplatecarpus sp. after an in hand examination of the bones. This identification was later confirmed by Mike Polcyn in 2019.

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.

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.

I enjoy finding these teeth because every one of them has had a different variation of the cusps.
