Mike Owens Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Do a search of "Oceans of Kansas." You can compare your find with the ones there. Hope this helps. -----"Your Texas Connection!"------ Fossils: Windows to the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jax Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I have found a few teeth that sort of look just like that. I thought they were Ptychodus teeth at first, because they have the look, but they are smooth on top, but have the root like a ptychodus. I will try to get some pics up soon to compare. I found mine in dallas county Kamp Ranch. I have 4 total. It looks cool tho justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossil man Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 i am not sure its pychotous but due to size and location that is my guess but i am open to suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It kinda looks like a pretty worn Ptychodus Polygyrus. Hit google images and you will see some that look like yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSCHNELLE Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Late reply - the dendritic branching at the tooth ends are unique to Ptychodus decurrens and Ptychodus occidentalis. P. decurrens has a lower crown, so I would say this worn tooth is most likely that species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
