Anna Marie Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hoping this is something different as it's unlike any other tooth I've found there. More conical. A little worn. Any chance a plesiosaur!!! Thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meganeura Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 They've gotta be jpgs, not sure what format you're trying to post them in. 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 There was no format attached. I made them .JPG files, and now they are showing up. Just looking like broken goblin shark teeth to me. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Is that still possible? Thank you for any input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 They can be rounded if they are very water/sand worn. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

shark57 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I was also thinking that was a worn shark tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Yup, worn sharks' tooth makes sense. Definitely not plesiosaur, unfortunately Keep looking, though. Eventually you'll find one! 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Could also be a dolphin tooth. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that was the first thing that crossed my mind when I looked at this as well, the curvature of the tooth and fanning of the root (which, moreover, is flat on the tooth's backside) convinced me this is a sharks' tooth. 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Also, no dolphin teeth (that I know have) have been found at Big Brook, which is mostly Cretaceous sediments. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
