ziggycardon Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hi everyone! A couple of weeks ago I aqcuired some microfossil samples, one of which was a sample from the Lede Zand, Lede Formation, Oosterzele, Belgium (Eocene, Lutetian, 44 mya). The sample is very rich in Foraminifera & shell fragments, but I also managed to find a tiny shark tooth. While I already searched at belgiansharkteeth.be I can't seem to find a match, perhaps due to it being so small. So I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me out, I would be very gratefull. Thank you in advance! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Al Dente Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Most likely Abdounia. Can't narrow it down more because it looks like the side cusps are damaged, possibly missing additional side cusps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MarcoSr Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Tooth looks like an Abdounia species. I have lots of Abdounia teeth from the Eocene (Ypresian) from the EGEM Quarry of Belgum. Marco Sr. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
