SarahtheIchthyornis Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Found this strange object in new jersey, it appears to be a transparent shark tooth, which is something I have never heard of before. there is likely another explanation, but I am unaware of it. Does anyone know what this is? photos taken with an iPhone lined up to a dissecting microscope, the distance between the 2 blue lines is 1cm. -thanks in advance!

PaleoNoel Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Agreed, it looks like pycnodont pharyngeal tooth, either Hadrodus or Anomaeodus I believe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It’s a Hadrodus priscus pharyngeal tooth. 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...
