Hipockets Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have a tooth here from some micro material from SE North Carolina, its mixed Eocene ( Castle Hayne Form.) and maastrichtian (Peedee Form.) It was suggested that maybe its a symphyseal ? Does anyone have an idea from what? There does not appear to be a nutrient groove, but it is only 4mm. Thanks for your help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Very interesting tooth. I will be looking forward to seeing others opinions on this one. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokietech96 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Looks like some type of mackerel species but I’m not familiar with that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jersey Devil Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I think it looks really similar to an Archaeolamna symphyseal. 3 “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hipockets Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hmmmmm...archaeolamna sp. shows up in the Black Creek group formations around here, which is a little earlier than the Peedee formation. But they do overlie each other so why not? I was thinking it had a Castle Hayne formation ( eocene) look to it.......brachycarcharias sp. maybe ? but I will be the first to tell you I dont know.

sixgill pete Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Mark very interesting tooth. My first gut impression was something Cretaceous but I am not sure. Let me do a little research.

Hipockets Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 I dont know if this helps, but here is group shot sampling of other teeth found at the site. Only the lamna teeth seem to look similar to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipockets Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Here is another strange tooth from the site. Its 3/8 in. Odd how the side cusps differ so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will, Both middle Eocene Castle Hayne Formation and late Maastrichtian Peedee Formation are found on these spoils so your proposed genus is possible. Diagnostic shape can enlighten regarding stratigraphy just as well as stratigraphy can help diagnose taxa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hipockets Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 There are no striations on the enamel, there are "folds" on the root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
