rod Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 After sifting in the creek all day, my son found these in the fine matter. Glad he has the good eyes. I would have thrown them out. THe site is in North MS, Demopolis Formation - Cretaceous I have an idea of what they may be, but still being new would like some confirmation. Please let me know if you have any ideas. - ROD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The only one i can ID for sure is the Lincoln Head Penny. Sorry I can't help, but those are some nice tiny teeth of something. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Ahoy Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Branchial teeth from a pyncodont. Around here, we have Anomaeodus phasolus...not sure if there's something different down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with the ID on the lower teeth. Some species of Anomaeodus. In older publications they are sometimes called Stephanodus. The upper two appear at first glance to be some sort of ray teeth. But it is hard to tell from that angle. Better pictures from several sides would help.

Roz Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I agree with the lower teeth (The hook-like juvenile tooth is part of the pharyngeal "tooth comb" of the pycnodontoid bony fish Hadrodus priscus (often identified on the East Coast as "Stephanodus) Upper sure look like ray teeth..

rod Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks. You have confirmed my suspicion of Hadrodus. I will try to get some more shots of the top ones and post. - ROD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilForKids Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The only one i can ID for sure is the Lincoln Head Penny. Sorry I can't help, but those are some nice tiny teeth of something. It's definitely a penny! The way it's lying down I think it's a "post-assassination" penny. If only my teeth are so prized a million years from now!

Tony Eaton Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I agree the top teeth are probably some sort of ray. My guess on the top teeth are Rhombodus sp., although perhaps too warn to properly identify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
