Greetings. Working through my prep pile, I got around to putting the scribe to this tooth. I assume it is a plesiosaur/pliosaur tooth as opposed to some kind of fish, but I'm not sure. I'm curious if someone more knowledgeable could assign this tooth to a genus, if there are sufficient diagnostic features showing. Eagle Ford Group, Balcones Fault Zone, Texas. Thanks

As a generalist, sometimes I like to scratch around in the Eagle Ford Group at various points along the Balcones Fault Zone from the Red River down through DFW, Waco, Austin, San Antonio and out into west Texas. Sites come and go, and wax and wane in productivity. Every now and then I find a new, untapped resource. Some are ephemeral, some have been around for a while, but what they all have in common is that they each seem worth 1 guy’s while at most 1-3 times per year, so I tend to keep strategically silent regarding provenance. I am at liberty, however, to share a few specimen photos from the last year. Let’s start with the last fossil people tend to associate with the Eagle Ford...echinoids. Mecaster batnensis shown below.

These two claws were collected from tar seeps in Kern County, California by the late George Lee back in the 70's. I have seen bird claws identified to species before and would like to know if these two can be as well. A friend has a variety of fossils from there and asked me about these today. The larger claw is 31 mm from tip to most distant part of the back of it. The other is 27 mm. Thanks, Jess
