BobWill Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 This tiny tooth came from a tributary of North Sulphur River called Moss Creek. This is Upper Cretaceous, Taylor Group. It's about 5 mm tall. Any Ideas? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilsonwheels Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I think @sixgill pete is correct. Odontaspis aculeatus would be my best guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikrogeophagus Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I went on a field trip with the DPS some time in June to Moss Creek. Here's a post I made awhile back about my finds @BobWill : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one came from the same place but is described as uncommon and the person who led those field trips could not identify it. Maybe someone can give you an accurate ID for yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikrogeophagus Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Ah I see. I just assumed they were the same if they had multiple sets of cusps. Are there any good guides specifically for the fauna in Moss Creek? I know Shawn Hamm is writing something, but if it's already published I can't seem to find it.
