Mississippian Fish Teeth #2 Chomatodus

[minnbuckeye]

Chomatodus will be today's fish of the day. It is a Petalodont, similar to a modern day Ghost Shark. My understanding is that a fused upper jaw leaves Chomatodus as "shark like", not a true shark. From my experience its teeth are the most frequently found in the Burlington Formation.
