Gareth_ Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I picked up some teeth labeled as Enchodus fangs but there are a couple that don't quite look like the rest. Are these Enchodus teeth and located in the jaw behind the fangs.... or not Enchodus at all.... or something else?! Scale is CM. I am unsure where these were found but based on a lot of other fossils sold there I'd guess Morocco. What gets my attention is Enchodus fangs have a distinctive shape and a carina. These teeth have 2 cutting edges and are obviously not the typical fang shape - the darker tooth more so. Sorry about the pics, it's an old Samsung and it can't figure out lighting and is not good at macro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 They look like Enchodus to me. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Parthicus Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I concur, these look like Enchodus teeth from farther back in the mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_ Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Thank you @Fossildude19 and @Parthicus I would assume these don't come up for sale nearly as often/not as common as the larger front "fangs"? I haven't seen anything but fangs sold at this place and generic online searches mostly bring up fangs or partial jaws. Either way, both teeth in the pics above are nice specimens with an in tact tip so they've been added to my collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
