Mystery crushing tooth (?) from the Calvert and Old Church Formations
sharkdoctor posted a topic in Fossil ID
I'd love a spot of help with a couple of teeth that have been vexing me lately! Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Below are photos of several teeth that all seem to have some of the same characteristics. The first two are from the base of the Calvert Formation. The next three are from the Old Church formation, which directly underlies the Calvert Formation through parts of Central Virginia. I am assuming they are crushing type teeth based on what looks like attachment characteristics on the base and smooth, worn surfaces on the top. The scale box is 5mm per side.

Collected from a beach in Narrawong. Could possibly be H. cainozoicus
