Super Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Found this fossil in New Jersey yesterday. Looks like a tooth, but it's hollow on one side. Most fossils found in this are are marine fossils from 70M years ago. Shark teeth ans such. Anyway, does anyone have a guess as to what it might be?

Guest bmorefossil Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 looks to be a broken fish crusher tooth from Anomaeodus Phaseolus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synechodus Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I agree, most likely half a tooth of a pycnodont-type fish.

MOROPUS Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I assume that Auspex is talking about synechodus pics. Doesn`t this id is out of the ID site? Nevertheless, good catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

non-remanié Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 And you know this how?????Sounds like a challenge... it's not. I'm always looking for new references. Ed There are plenty of references out there. Its not uncommon in the NJ Cretaceous. Easiest way is to just google "Anomaeodus" or "Anomaeodus NJ" or "pycnodont NJ" and get the basics pretty easily. There seem to be a few different spellings out there, Anomoeodus might actually be correct, but some websites use Anomaeodus. ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
