Samurai Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Location: Missouri Timer period: Paleozoic (Might be Pennsylvanian) Formation: N/A Hello! My friend recently gifted to me a few fossils and he brought to me an interesting tooth/crushing plate and asked if I was familiar with it, and unfortunately I was not! He mentioned what he thought it could belong to, but I am unable to recall what species. Some information I was told was that his mother actually found his specimen at a location a few years ago and I was unable to get a picture of the location or check it out due to a busy schedule! My friend's specimen (he took home): Around 5-6 cm The one he gifted me: (backside) Roughly 2.5cm long ( The plate fossil itself) Images in their natural size (not compressed): https://imgur.com/a/ZWA47Mf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I don't think these are teeth. They look more like fragments of a coiled nautilod or ammonoid. Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Very well could be! Would you by chance know what species they would be derived from? Or is it not recognizable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
