    Looking for info on Temnodontosaurus eurycephalus

    Probably one of the most enigmatic species of Temnodontosaurus is Temnodontosaurus eurycephalus, owing to only one skull ever having been found. This particular species is often described as a snub-nosed temnodontosaur with massive teeth and heavy jaw muscles that it probably used to hunt other ichthyosaurs (and other marine reptiles). Its holotype is currently held by the Natural History Museum in London, with the below being some images of it, taken off of Wikipedia: My interest with it, at present, lies with its dentition, with the morphology of its teeth. For I've seen some truly massive teeth and equally massive roots come out of Lyme Regis that I currently consider to belong to T. platyodon based on specimens labelled as such in the NHM collections (see images below for illustration, but please note that Ichthyosaurus platyodon is an old synonym for T. platyodon). And while these teeth seem morphologically similar to the teeth of Mary, Tony Gill's T. platyodon specimen (image below; source), I find myself wondering how these teeth compare to those of T. eurycephalus. Unfortunately, however, I've been able to find very little information or quality photographs on this particular species. I'd therefore like to ask if anybody here has any photographs - in particular crisp/detailed ones of the dentition - or articles (regrettably, I can't access pay-walled) that they'd be willing to share. Thanks in advance!

    Crow shark positions

    From the album: Post Oak Creek

    Reconstructed tooth set from a "Crow" shark - Squalicorax (could be S. falcatus) - illustrating the variety of tooth positions. Anterior teeth have erect, triangular cusps. Lateral teeth and posteriors are more common and have an increasingly posteriorly slanted crown, resembling the teeth of modern tiger sharks.
  3. Hi, Recently, I had the good fortune to acquire this set of Cretoxyrhina (vraconensis) teeth from the Britton Fm., Texas. I have a detailed account of it’s discovery which describes almost all of these teeth being found together in an area about 18” x18”, with a few stragglers found just outside the main pile of teeth. It’s not complete, but It looks like most of the positions are represented. Some of the larger anteriors were not recovered and I suspect at least one or two positions are missing. I have arranged these teeth into positions that look close to me, but there is no doubt that it needs to be adjusted. I am hoping someone here might know something about these early Cretoxyrhina dentitions and might be able to advise or comment on how I can make this accurate. Some other noteworthy finds recovered from the same 18” square were 2 suspected Cretoxyrhina vertebrae, 5 small Squalicorax (falcatus) teeth, a possible Archeolamna tooth, another very small unidentified cusped shark tooth, and some small fish vertebrae and bones. Thanks for looking. R~
  4. Hi all, I'm looking for photos or good illustrations of dentitions from a few different sharks from the Paleocene and Eocene to help improve my recognition and to learn better how their teeth varied across the jaw. These could be natural/associated sets or artificial/constructed ones. The sharks I'm looking for are: Jaekelotodus robustus Palaeohypotodus rutoti Brachycarcharias lerichei Isurolamna inflata Can anyone point me toward resources for any of these? If you know of dentitions from different species within these genera, those would be helpful as well. Thanks!
  5. I found this front bit of carnivore jaw while out on my latest fossil collecting trip in the White River Formation of Colorado. Only one tooth is complete, the canine tooth has broken off. It’s too large to be Hesperocyon and the cross section of the canine tooth does not match that of Daphoenus, which I have previously collected material, including a canine tooth, from. That leaves Hyaenodon and the Nimravids. After doing some comparative research with pictures of skulls, I am tentatively leaning towards this being from a Nimravid, as the contours of the jaw line near the socket where the canine tooth sits are fairly distinctive and match those in the pictures of Nimravid skulls almost perfectly, less so than the contours seen in the skull of Hyaenodon horridus. Plus, the canine tooth is triangular in cross section, and though I couldn’t find any specific references on this bit of anatomy that makes more sense to me for the stabbing canines of a Nimravid rather than the flatter canines of Hyaenodon. But alas, here I am to get other opinions. Hyaenodon or Nimravid? Or something else entirely? (I am fairly confident this isn’t just a piece of oreodont jaw, haha). Thanks in advance.

    A Gift Horse

    A friend found this on a gravel bar in Southern Minnesota. It definitely looks like horse but it is quite large. 4" x 1 5/8". I couldn't find any good size references for horse molars online. If horse are these dimensions outside the normal range?
  7. Hello! Does anyone know of any good references for differentiating between Oreodont and camel dentition, particularly in regards to the little jaw sections that are frequently found in White River deposits? I’ve been unable to find any good literature on the topic and am having some difficulty with differentiating between the two.

    Molar Position

    What position is this molar from? Am I correct in thinking the m3 molar is the only molar with a third lobe? As shown below. I believe its bison bison m3?
  9. I’m wondering if anyone has put together a dentition of an early Cretoxyrhina with narrow lower teeth and cusped laterals and posteriors. If you have photos of something like this I would very much appreciate seeing what one looks like. Thanks in advance! R~

    Mystery Fossil From Rock Show

    Quite some years back my late uncle purchased the attached fossil at a gem show here locally. Too be completely honest it looks kind of fake to me... but im might just have a untrained eye. My Aunt has taken the picture. I Couldn't possibly imagine it being from around here so I'm really not sure what age it could be or what location it is from. I'll try to acquire some more photos with a scale shortly. I know its a shot in the dark but any feedback would be greatly appreciated. -Nick
