I found these back in January but apparently never posted them here (can't find any thread), I'm post mostly to my FB nowadays. I found these in about 30 minutes. They are typically assigned as "Petrodus" but who really knows. Years ago at this site I found teeth from at least 3 shark species including "Edestus". These are from the "Mingus Formation" I believe.

What did Petrodus sharks look like? (Are they known only from denticles?)
Gramps posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
All, I have been finding a few dermal denticles in Northeast Oklahoma Pennsylvanian shales. Based on published reports and images from our area, I believe these are Petrodus. I’ve attached an image of two denticles I found yesterday. I’ve been looking for images of the entire shark because I’m curious about the animal’s overall appearance; however, I’m only finding images of the denticles. Do scientists know what these sharks looked like, and if so, does anyone know of resources containing overall images? Best wishes.- 7 replies
