Mouth Plate Id

Recommended Posts

Here we go again. We found these in a creek in North Mississippi. Demopolis Formation, Cretaceous.

We also found a number of teeth that appear to be similar to the ones in the plate. Any ideas of what critter these may be from

They are crushers from the Drumfish. Nice finds!

I would second that Id on the drumfish, we find them here in the cretaceous of NJ as well. Never that many in one collecting trip though. There must have been a high concentration of them there during that time. That is assuming you did find them all in the same trip.

The tooth plate and all but two of the others were found today.

Hi,

I'm OK with CreekCrawler : Pycnodont (or its family) for the first pic.
