jforbes Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hello all, On a bone valley fossil hunting trip, I turned up a fossil I was a bit unsure about. My best guess was a sawfish rostral tooth. Let me know your thoughts and some bonus pics at the end! Here is what I believe to be a porpoise tooth (the other side is a bit busted up) And here is a riker frame of some of my better bone valley shark teeth I found. Thanks for looking! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Could this be an illustration of why Ischyrhiza is considered a sawskate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family Fun Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I have no input on the identification, but I do love your display, gave me ideas for my bone valley finds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 It is a Rostral tooth, I and friends find shorter and smaller ones in the Peace River but I have long noted that Rostral teeth coming from the Bone Valley phosphate mines look almost exactly like yours... Your 2nd fossil is indeed a porpoise tooth, unidentified to Genus/species.. It might be a kentriodontid dolphin fossil tooth, Very nice finds... 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
