-AnThOnY- Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Found this the other week, and I am sure its a tooth considering it has enamel but other than that I have no idea since its apparently broken. Probably one of the few things I would think could help with an ID would be the top portion that has two parallel inlay-ed slits as can be seen from the top and side views. Side, Top, Bottom Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 How old is it? Where was it found? Any way of getting a closer pictureof it?

-AnThOnY- Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) How old is it? Where was it found? Any way of getting a closer pictureof it? Frankstown, MS. Upper Cretaceous, and I can try. Better pictures, but for whatever reason really large Edited February 24, 2011 by -AnThOnY- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Looks like a cownose ray to me, although I have never seen one with enamel on it before. Good find. http://www.fossilsof...s/cow_nosed.htm Edited February 24, 2011 by Just Bob "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

Just Bob Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I shouldn't really say I never seen one with enamel on it, more like I never really seen one quite in the condition of yours. Very cool! Congratulations. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have a lot of those from the Franktown site (back in the good days). I have them with one root section, two sections, three sections. I don't think I have a four root section one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
