Kolya Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hello! Help please to identify this tooth. Length: 2 mm. Cretaceous-Neogene. Western Ukraine. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhysicist Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Looks like it could be a side cusp, but not sure what from. Maybe goblin since I see striations? 1 "Argumentation cannot suffice for the discovery of new work, since the subtlety of Nature is greater many times than the subtlety of argument." - Carl Sagan "I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there." - Richard Feynman Collections: Hell Creek Microsite | Hell Creek/Lance | Dinosaurs | Sharks | Squamates | Post Oak Creek | North Sulphur River | Lee Creek | Aguja | Permian | Devonian | Triassic | Harding Sandstone Instagram: @thephysicist_tff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought about hybodont, but I think they're usually more conical and there would be at least an indication of striations on both sides?

I've found only one Hybodont tooth in all my years. Hardly my strong suit. I was going more by overall shape, and am unsure still 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
