DevilDog Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Please help with an ID for these small teeth found in the Lee Creek spoils pile. Sorry for the poor image quality, but my cell phone does not take good pictures of tiny objects. Both teeth are approx. 5mm wide and 7mm tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDog Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Many thanks! I found three of these over the course of several trips to Aurora. The third, not pictured is smaller by about 1/3. Are these typical size or juvenile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always a good day searching the piles if only one of these was found. Congrats, Devildog! The anteriors look very similar to Odontaspis sp. teeth. Suggest picking up a copy of LC III and also go to elasmo.com. You may very well have an anterior or two and may not know it. 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
