Allodon Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi everyone, I was at the Big Brook Preserve lately, and in amongst the usual batch of oysters, shark teeth, belemnites, and an ammonite fragment I found one piece which I can't quite identify. I initially thought it was a piece of Enchodus jaw, but when I got it into better light I wasn't so sure. It seems to have definite bone texture to it and I am almost certain it's fossilized, but it doesn't quite match with anything I can think of. (Sorry if the pictures aren't great, I tried the best I could with my desk lamp.) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It's an Enchodus palatine with the scars of previous fangs visible. The ammo chamber is cool; it's got invertebrate fecal pellets attached to it. 5 “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
