Roz Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 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. Thanks Roz Welcome to the forum!

Gatorman Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiphactinus Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceH Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yes, there are toothed ones in North America, I found one myself.

Xiphactinus Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceH Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 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. Really?! That's really cool. Learned something today. What did you find of it? Pictures? ----------------- Mike, can you have Mark Norell look at my page and the teeth at the bottom and confirm?

Boesse Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 That is really cool, Lance! Roz, I don't know how to tell pterosaur teeth personally, but it is a cool find either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roz Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks for the ID and sending it to Mark, Michael. My goal is now to find an intact one, hopefully hanging from the jaw... Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
