Late Cretaceous Fish Dental Plate

Recommended Posts

I purchased this with the misidentification of an unknown coral with no listed location. I've received an identification from a local museum of a fish dental plate from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco and was wondering if anyone here knew of a way to identify the genus of the fish.

Have a look at Eodiaphyodus granulosus.

I wouldn't have the beginning of a clue on how to tell the difference between different fishes, but this does look very similar to what I have. Thank you.

I agree with Tim.

Here's one in my collection, after prep.

You all rock! I was thinking this was going to be impossible to identify and I received an identification in minutes and two confirmations the same day.

Every once in a great while, the internet works.  There's some knowledge on this site.

So I've noticed with some coral IDs I've requested help with.
