Hey everyone, another quick post about some finds. I think these are fish jaws but have no idea. Lincoln Limestone, Greenhorn Formation, Cretaceous.

Just doing a quick glance at Oceans of Kansas site, it kind of looks like Enchodus.

Whatever it is, Jamie, sweet find!

Congratulations!

Excellent finds!

Were they found associated?

No they are not associated. I guess I should have made that clear. I found three jaws within the same area, but not together.

Here is the last jaw I found. It looks a little different than the other two but probably Enchodus as well?

Wow! That one is cool too!

Odd look to the base of those teeth - almost like sawfish rostrals? :unsure:

Thanks for answering my question.

I didn't think they were associated, but you never know. :)
