Samurai Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian most likely Raytown, Wyandotte Limestone Hi I was wondering if anyone was able to identify these teeth I found together at the rock pile I hunted at, the right I believe could be a poorly preserved Petalodus tooth with its root and as for the left I have no idea and could be from a Petalodus if not the same one? I am not sure as I am not an expert at identify odd looking teeth yet. If possible I would also like to know the tooth placement if it is able to be determined. Thank you for taking your time to read this! I have found shards from Petalodus teeth in the area and 1 almost complete specimen, but none look like the two teeth I found below Backside of the right specimen Close up picture of the specimen on the left backside of the specimen on the left I held them on their side so the tip would be more visible and you could see more details 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bullsnake Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Certainly appear to be. Nice finds! Link to post Share on other sites
cngodles Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The right one for sure. The striations on the crown also make me think Petalodus. The matrix within the tooth also looks correct. Link to post Share on other sites
