Good morning y'all! First post here so lemme know if I am breaking etiquette or something ^^ I'm very much so a novice when it comes to identification, and am having trouble with this particular specimen. I know for sure this guy comes from the Pierre Shale in Wyoming, and it was found several years before my time. I am leaning towards Platecarpus because of the lithe frame and smaller size (appx. 300.0 cm from dentary to articular), and the fact that it seems to only have 11/12 teeth.

Goal: collect all Pierre Shale formation main fossil specimens. During my fossil hunting trips I collect a lot of different fossils but never take the time to figure out what it is exactly. Here I will record my trips and finds but more importantly try to identify what it is. This list will encourage me to not just look for the big marine reptiles but also smaller things I normally ignore. I understand how unrealistic this goal is but it's fun. Any feedback or suggestions are welcomed! Specimens shown on wiki for Pierre shale.

I found this tooth today in Colorado Springs. In the Pierre Shale formation. It looks very shark tooth like. I prepped it out a bit to expose it more. I think it might be Pseudocorax granti ? ... but I'm not sure. Could this be a shark tooth and if so what species?
