Ratfish tooth from the mid-jurassic in Denmark
Sauroniops posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Hello there fossil forum! A few of you may have read my post about my 2 trips to Bornholm, a Danish island that holds a lot of different fossiliferous geological layers. I had specifically been digging by a location called "Hasle beach", where mid-jurassic sandstone layers are present. There have been found a few plesiosaur bones/teeth there, as well as 2 possible dinosaur bones, still being described, and also a few footprints. Other than that, mostly what you will find here, is shells, and occasionally hybodont shark teeth. As I mentioned in my last post about Bornholm (you- 19 replies

Hello everyone, I have a couple questions about these two items. The first is a badly crumbling piece of fossil wood. I have not tried stabilizing it yet, but I have heard that wood with this type of preservation always crumbles. If anyone has had luck stabilizing this type of NJ wood please let me know. I am almost completely sure the second piece is just an oddly worn small section of ratfish tritor, but I want to make sure it isn’t something else. Thanks for any help, Joseph

The reasons for my thinking this is that the double row of tooth-like projections are evenly and tightly spaced and that the projections are aligned between the rows. The projections do not look like they are teeth (I see no tooth sockets) and are curved. Also, there is a faint groove between the doub

I went for a dig last weekend and wanted to show what I came up with. It was a great day for a dig, the weather has been perfect for them lately. My last few trips were nothing special but today my sifter was treating me very well! I came up with three Mosasaur teeth and this ratfish jaw chunk. I have never even found two nice Mosasaur teeth on a single trip so this was a really good hunt for me. Cheers! -Frank
