For the rank amateurs here is it possible to explain the differences and how to identify these teeth? Of lesser importance I am attaching photos of 3 inch to inch and a half teeth I had previously thought were all Enchodus and then 2 small half inch fragments found yesterday, both heavily striated. As always thank you all

Hello everyone, For years I've been showing around three problematic teeth which I found in the New Jersey Cretaceous and we all have finally come to a consensus. We now believe these to be Apateodus palatine teeth. These teeth are heavily fluted (like Xiphactinus) and have a deep, hollow base. The bases flares out towards the bottom and ha a wrinkly appearance. Mine measure from .6 - .8 inches long. They do resemble the more common Enchodus teeth besides the differences stated above. I was NOT aware of these being in New Jersey so I just figured i would let everyone know what we came up with. Thanks to Dr. Earl Manning, Carl Mehling, Wayne Callahan, Steve B, MAPS, and everyone else who helped me to finally identify these! @non-remanié @Carl @Jeffrey P @Trevor
