JamieLynn Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi all! I have a few things from the Aurora North Carolina Micro Matrix that I could use some help with ID. First is this odd "tooth" which I am assuming is some kind of fish tooth, but any thought on ID? Size 1/4 inch Also this little "thing". Coprolite perhaps? Size 1/8 inch and lastly this little piece: Size 1/4 inch 2 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhysicist Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 First tooth looks like a small Odontocete maybe. @Boesse 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...

sixgill pete Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 First one is a dolphin tooth with brokenn root so yes Odontocete. Second one I do not think is coprolite. But not sure what it is. Third ? I have noticed that many of the teeth and other items in your matrix are broken or incomplete.

I have lots of teeth that are not broken, but when you get matrix, I guess you get what you get. www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Agreed on dolphin - a very small one, but likely something like a eurhinodelphinid or perhaps one of the rare pontoporiids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
