MC_Hendges Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Found three teeth that I’m not sure of on the ID, I think the curved one is a dolphin tooth, but that is my best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Top right tooth, Carcharhinus sp. likely a bull or dusky shark. Bottom small curved one is not dolphin in my opinion. If you look at the picture of it by itself there is a center hollow core. It reminds me of a croc tooth. However it is so worn and beaten up, I even hesitate to give it that I.D. The other cusped tooth is Cretaceous, possibly Cretalamna appendiculatta. 3 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it, I figured the ID for the fragmented one would be difficult, but I definitely see what you mean with the hollow core. Not to get my own hopes up, but could it possibly be a small mosasaur? I’ve heard the cores are naturally oval shape on those and that they look very similar to croc teeth haha! Anyways, thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see mosasaur in that at all, sorry. 1 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I can see very worn Ischyrhiza for that one. The hollowness would be a missing piece as opposed to a natural cavity in that case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
