peacefossil Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Pulled this one out of the peace as well. Small maybe the size of a dime. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOROPUS Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Pulled this one out of the peace as well. Small maybe the size of a dime. Enjoy! Pathological tooth (maybe because a trauma?)for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I had not seen this one before. Have you managed to get back to the Peace? I went last week, found a neat little couple of million year old shrimp burrow made of sand grains, a mostly complete peccary canine, and a tapir tooth (below).. As I look at the part of the tooth, not pathological, it seems most like Tiger Shark to me.

peacefossil Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Not made it back yet. Quite unfortunate as the levels are nice and low too. I would go this weekend, but family is in town. Fly out next week. If the levels are still low I can go June 6th. MSG me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haddy Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Can't help with the ID but great tooth! Of course the water level is lower -- we're not there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly out next week. If the levels are still low I can go June 6th. MSG me I am trying to get there every chance I can (and still keep my job). The water levels are down a foot and clear to the bottom compared to the day we went. I will likely be able to go June 6th and will msg you just before to check if you are still game. Here is a 1/2 inch odd broken tooth and I wondered if it is a small Meg. What do others think. It is serrated with a thick mouse ear type root. Haddy, I hope you get back someday -- when the rain gods smile on you and the river is low and crystal clear...

I did not think much of it because it was not a fossil, maybe a tusk?

Mr. Edonihce Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I don't really know sharks (or teeth at all for that matter), but would genetics or congenital be a better possibility? Do teeth 'heal' as they continue to exist in the body after they are damaged.....sorry to be an idiot, but I just don't even know. . ____________________ scale in avatar is millimeters ____________________ Come visit Sandi, the 'Fossil Journey Cruiser' ____________________ WIPS (the Western Interior Paleontological Society - http://www.westernpaleo.org) ____________________ "Being genetically cursed with an almost inhuman sense of curiosity and wonder, I'm hard-wired to investigate even the most unlikely, uninteresting (to others anyway) and irrelevant details; often asking hypothetical questions from many angles in an attempt to understand something more thoroughly." -- Mr. Edonihce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
