hokietech96 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hi. I found these two teeth in the Lee Creek matrix yesterday. I have my thoughts on what they are but I wanted to see if my thoughts are correct on them. Thanks in advance for any feedback. @Al Dente 1. I believe this tooth is a Paragaleus pectoralis - 3MM 2.I thought this was Squantina but now after posting the pictures I not sure. 2MM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkdoctor Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Nice finds! Glad to see you are getting some hunting in despite COVID! The second looks to be a large dermal denticle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second tooth is too eroded for me to identify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokietech96 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks everyone for the great feedback! I am really enjoying this matrix. I cannot believe how much I have found over the past 6 months. I am still only halfway through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoSr Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I think your second specimen is a single cusplet from a much bigger shark tooth.
