Guest N.AL.hunter Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 In the gallery area, in my Frankstown Album, one of the pictures is of a clasper I found at that site. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it is shark or ray? Or could you direct me to a source where I could determine this myself? http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?au...si&img=1919 Thanks, Delos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a wonderful book that should cover this subject. "The Collector's Guide to Fossil Sharks and Rays From the Cretaceous of Texas" by Welton & Farrish You can also check http://www.njfossils.net/hybodont.html for some info. ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Wow, Toothpuller, that was a fast answer. It sure looks like you "nailed" it for me. Pun intended!! Thanks a lot. The pics on your link are proof positive for me - Hybodus clasper it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to find Hybodus claspers even close to complete here in the Cretaceous of NJ. ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
