PFOOLEY Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 These teeth are from an indeterminate sandstone layer within the Late Cretaceous Carlile (Turonian) Shale. Do you have any ideas on which fish they might belong to? ... "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.

Al Dente Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Both teeth could be from the same type of fish. They look like teeth from a pycnodont. The second tooth looks like a typical incisor from a pycnodont and the first might be one of the crushing teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
