Recommended Posts

I am fairly confident this ain’t notidanus, any ideas, also can anyone translate the cryptic label:P I do love the box thought it looks very nice, it’s from an old collection, thanks again,

will

I think the zone means the Micraster coranguinum to Micraster anglicus  echinoid biozones of the Senonian which is an old unit used to cover the Coniacian, Santonian, Campanian and, sometimes, the Maastrichtian ages of the Upper Cretaceous. 

Shoreham is, as I expect you know, Shoreham-by-Sea in Sussex, England.

wow thanks thats very helpful:P i didn't recognise senonian so thanks for your help. also great work on the zones, i would have never got that either:D

after thinking for a while,although this tooth is the wrong age (though only by a bit), it reminds me of Pachygaleus lefevrei (Daimeries, 1891)

Sometimes, being older and  remembering the old names can be useful. :)

However, I have no idea whatsoever as to the identity of the tooth.

The lingual view of your tooth does strongly resemble a Pachygaleus lefevrei tooth.  However Pachygaleus lefevrei teeth have a bulging base of the labial face of the crown which overhangs the root.  I'm not seeing this feature in the labial picture of your tooth below.  It may be obscured by damage by the root.

Notidanus is a "nomen nudum" (invalid taxonomic name).   If you look at tooth features of Notidanodon teeth, they have prominent mesial cusplets which I don't see in the pictures of your specimen.  Plus Notidanodon teeth have a flattened fairly straight root which doesn't match your specimen either.

 

Not being familiar with the referenced formation unit or the fauna from the locality given for your specimen, I can't comment any further.
