Once again I need help with an identification, this time a fish tooth, from the Upper Paleocene Bells Landing Member of the Tuscahoma Formation in Monroe County, Alabama. I apologize for the graininess of the photo, but I had to capture it with my iphone as my digital microscope provided no details or contrast of the tooth. I am hoping that one of the Aquia collectors might recognize it to perhaps genus. The most obvious feature is a central keel on one face of the tooth. Length of tooth is 6 mm. Mike

All In the process of looking through screened material from the Upper Paleocene Bells Landing Member of the Tuscahoma Formation, I came across this small 3 mm shark tooth. This deposit located within Monroe County, Alabama is equivalent in age to the Paspotansa Member of the Aquia Formation in Virginia. I searched the Aquia section on Elasmo.com but could not find anything similar. I don't know if this is a juvenile or an adult tooth but the most noticeable feature is the deep nutrient groove. I am hoping one of the many shark tooth experts here on the forum might be able to give some insight into what it is. Left: Lingual Right: Labial. Thanks Mike
