Ichthyosaur jaw teeth rostrum help requested

Recommended Posts

Hey guy & gals,

 

I am having a problem seeing the "loads of tiny teeth" in the crumpled/chewed up Ichthyosaur rostrum mandible section.  Can someone point them out to me?  This specimen is from a very reliable dealer.  It's from the Lyme Regis, Dorset, England and is Jurassic.  I know they're there somewhere but can't seem to find/see them.  My age may be effecting my eyesight LOL.  By the way, I took these photos with my new Veho VMS-004 microscope recommended by Christian about a month ago.  Still trying to get used to it but I think my closeup photos will be better.

Not sure if it is "loads of teeth" or one really broken tooth.  :headscratch:

I'm guessing this is what they are referring to.

Thanks Tim, was beginning to wonder if it was just me.  I forgot to mention the measurements, it's 32mm x 25mm.

Tim, would you try prepping this fossil to see if something else is inside?

The specimen is small but interesting. I would like to see a zoom in of the lighter coloured area in the second photo as it looks like a small shark tooth is there in the centre of the photo.
