Fish Or Maybe Pterosaur Tooth


Roz

Recommended Posts

Hope the pics are clear enough. It is either a fish maybe, or I

was hoping possibly Pterosaur. Found in the Pawpaw formation.

Cretaceous in age

It does not have a ridge so don't think it is enchodus.

Not sure if the tooth is intact enough to ID.

Roz an easy trick to reduce the glare from your flash is to cover the flash with some computer paper the flash will still light the object but not as brightly it works great for me

Hey thanks, Anson. I appreciate the tip cause I just could not

get these pics to come out.

Roz - Not sure what it is, but I'm pretty sure that there have never been any toothed pterosaurs found in N. America. All we have are the toothless varieties.

Yes, there are toothed ones in North America, I found one myself.

Really?! That's really cool. Learned something today. What did you find of it? Pictures?

Pics here:

Lance's pterosaur

Roz found hers in the Pawpaw formation here in North Texas. Wes Kirpach found one also from the PawPaw (I assume it's one also, see link).

The Pawpaw is one of the shallow marine fomations here where dinosaur material (hadrosaur) has been found.

Mike, can you have Mark Norell look at my page and the teeth at the bottom and confirm?

That is really cool, Lance!

Roz, I don't know how to tell pterosaur teeth personally, but it is a cool find either way.

Thanks for the ID and sending it to Mark, Michael. :D

My goal is now to find an intact one, hopefully hanging from the jaw...
