Hello all, I'm brand new to the forum and was hoping for some help identifying this tooth. It was found on the beach by my daughter in Cabo Pulmo area of Baja Mexico. She's excited to find out of it's a sharks tooth. We were not able to find anything close to similar through an internet search. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

I got this tooth about 600 mi down in Baja California . It was found in a water running creek. This is very heavy and very hard. It is fossilized to a rock. I believe the reason is not black like most teeth are found in Montana or Utah or Wyoming. Is this one was covered with sand and Ash. The impact zone it's not that far away everything was turned upside down when you look at the cliff sides of the river. What I mean by that closer to the ocean the fossils are underneath the gray layer fossilized and sand. And I believe that's why the colors Sandy Brown. Some people said it was a new not that old. My experience in my life this fossils approximately 60 million years old.

A new paper regarding toothed mysticetes is available online: Azucena Solis-Añorve; Gerardo González-Barba; René Hernández-Rivera (2019). "Description of a new toothed mysticete from the Late Oligocene of San Juan de La Costa, B.C.S., México". Journal of South American Earth Sciences. in press. doi:10.1016/j.jsames.2018.11.015. Niparajacetus is the second Oligocene mysticete to be described from Mexico and the southernmost occurrence of an aetiocetid-like mysticete from the Pacific Coast. I wanted to see if anyone has a copy of the this paper because there's no free access at the website for this paper.

From the album: MY FOSSIL Collection - Dpaul7
Fossil Sand Dollar Baha, Mexico Miocene (3.6-23 Million years ago) The term sand dollar (also known as a sea cookie or snapper biscuit in New Zealand, or pansy shell in South Africa) refers to species of extremely flattened, burrowing sea urchins belonging to the order Clypeasteroida. Some species within the order, not quite as flat, are known as sea biscuits. Related animals include other sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and starfish. Sand dollars, like all members of the order Clypeasteroida, possess a rigid skeleton known as a test. The test consists of calcium carbonate plates arranged in a fivefold radial pattern. The ancestors of sand dollars diverged from the other irregular echinoids, namely the cassiduloids, during the early Jurassic, with the first true sand dollar genus, Togocyamus, arising during the Paleocene. Soon after Togocyamus, more modern-looking groups emerged during the Eocene. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Echinodermata Class: Echinoidea Order: Clypeasteroida
