Bullsnake Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) I found this in the same vicinity as a couple of possible Deltodus teeth, but it just doesn't have the same look to it. I believe it is the Plattsburg fm. Spring Hill ls. Size is ~1cm X .5cm I'm not positive on the orientation, but I've stated my perception of it, if it helps. TOP CLOSEUP SIDE(a) CLOSEUP CONTINUED...

siteseer Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Bullsnake, I've seen teeth like that identified as Campodus - specimens from the Stark Shale, Kansas City area and also the Muncie Creek Shale, Lenexa, Kansas. If not Campodus, then a relative. I don't have the new edition of Chondrichthyes 1 but your tooth is similar to specimens in the 1981 edition.

Bullsnake Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thank you, Jess. I just haven't gotten around to searching. Thanks for the starting point! I need more books!

Bullsnake Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Can't help with an ID Steve - but man,... that's COOL! Nice find - thanks for showing us! Regards, Glad you enjoyed that,Tim. I should have done my own searching, but I guess I was anxious to show it off! After siteseers help, I started searching, and guess what?... it led me to TFF, Missourian's shark teeth thread!

Missourian Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Nice tooth. It may be broken on the end, but that allows you to see some internal canals. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsnake Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Nice tooth. It may be broken on the end, but that allows you to see some internal canals. Thanks, Missourian. It is cool to see the internal structure, but now to find a complete one! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimB88 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) its also very similar to Orodus, but Campodus is probably closer. heres a set of Campodus from the Field Museum. and heres an Orodus from Kansas Edited November 1, 2012 by JimB88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roz Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Now that's a keeper! I love that tooth! Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsnake Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Now that's a keeper! I love that tooth! Thank you Roz. That means something considering the cool stuff you find! Looking at pics of Campodus and similar teeth, it appears more of it is gone than just the end. I guess I'll have to go see if the rest of it is there, or more of them.
