Ptychodus Ray Pictures

Recommended Posts

I need some links or pictures of the ray/shark that carried the ptychodus teeth.I need these ASAP Before 11p.m. Central time.

Thanks guys

I fished around on Google, and there seems to be no consensus on what they looked like. One site said maybe a shark-like ray, another said like an Eagle Ray.

There are many critters represented in the fossil record where even the most astute academicians can only speculate on body morphology. One such shark is the Pennsylvanian form Petalodus. Like Ptychodus, this critter remains somewhat of an enigma.

I think head shapes can only being inferred from articulated dentitions and comparisons with modern sharks.

Kenshu Shimada has written extensively about the Cretaceous sharks in Kansas which are the exact same we have here. A list of of common Kansas Niobrara Chalk critters looks just like a list of common Texas Eagle Ford shale critters: Cretoxyrhina, Cretolamna, Squalicorax, Scapanorhyncus, Xiphactinus, Enchodus, Ptychodus, etc...

Ginsu shark = Cretoxyrhina Mantelli

Crow Shark = Squalicorax
