JamieLynn Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I got some more Aguja formation matrix from Brewster County Texas. And happily, I found my First Dinosaur Tooth!! Plus some other really nice little things! Dromeosaur tooth 6mm Some Croc teeth and a bit of scute: A little bone 6mm My first Lissodus tooth: An Onchopristis shark tooth 4mm One of my favorite finds: Paralbula fish tooth 3mm A nice little shark denticle 2mm And not sure what this is...maybe a scute? 1cm and finally, a really cool little vertebra 7mm 9 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Fun stuff. Can we see more pix of the little bone? It looks like it might be a small vertebra. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The "scute" reminds me of a fish tooth plate. 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood; but sometimes all the teeth are missing leaving just the 'sockets'.

Troodon Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Love that Dromaeosaurid tooth, nice find. A photo of the base can help determine if its cf Saurornitholestes The Paralbula taxon that is described from the Aguja is indeed P. casei I agree with jpc that bone might be a vert, more photos I'm in the scute camp on that fragment. That vert might be from a Lepisoteidae (gar fish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Here are a couple of pics i do have, I'll have to take pics of the Dino tooth base. Thanks for y'alls help!!! @jpc - here is the other side of the bone: @JohnJ This is the underside of the "scute" in question @Troodon - the vert has a distinct concave on one side and convex on the other so maybe turtle? 1 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
