Righteous Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I’m going to see about picking up another fossil from a nice gentleman I dealed with the other night. He Has what looks like the lower jaw to a fish with narrow pointed teeth. It’s slightly curved and in 3 pieces. Two of the pieces match one does not. Piece only about 6-7” long and teeth about 14”-1/2” tall. Won’t have it in hand till later tonight. Here’s what I need help with, he couldn’t spell the name but could pronounce it it started with PYU payu sounded like packacu something or another. Any idea what fish it could be? Not much to go on but would recognize it if I saw the spelling and the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahnmut Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Hi Righteous, Here is an alphabetic list of Alabama fossil species: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_prehistoric_life_of_Alabama, I´d say Ptychodus but that doesn´t fit the description. Have a go yourself. Best regards, J Try to learn something about everything and everything about something Thomas Henry Huxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he found it near burkville In 1953 one was found at the Burkville localityLate Santonian/Early Campanian - Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
