From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
I found this shadow of a tooth that must have popped out of the rock when this rockpile was excavated to make a artificial pond or due to rain. I searched all I could at the base of the rock pile but no such luck. It most likely broke apart as these teeth absorb water and when they dry out it often makes them crack and crumble. I assume this one is a Petalodus sp. tooth as they are the most common i find in the area-

Recently I took a trip with a friend to a site in Wise Co. Tex. Originally I was to teach her how to find trilobites. That went smoothly. She was finding trilobite material quickly! It is a poor student who never outshines the teacher. She is a fine student of findology, made that word up myself . Had me turning green with envy when she found the second ever orodus tooth at that site in 20+ years. I have never found one and I had just told her about one found almost two decades earlier by a member of the Dallas Paleo group. Well long story short I did not find it but I am proud to say she showed me up. Maybe she will show me how to find one of these. She loaded her bags with the normal stuff too, but this stands out as the find of the day. Jess B.
