gturner333 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Are these Pycnodont teeth? I have seen a lot of Pycnodonts but they haven't had the well-domed top and the bottom was more concave. Secondly, is this a shell fragment from a turtle? Thanks for your help.

tmaier Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I don't know about the teeth, but the bone does look like turtle shell. Turtle shell is very porous, relative to other types of bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm guessing those teeth are very tiny? There is no scale., If they are I would call them Paralbula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If you park over the teeth it tells you they're 1-2mm. I found this by accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanNREMTP Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Wow, those are small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Definitely turtle shell. Teeth appear to be pycnodont. Probably Anomoeodus sp.

Carl Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Definitely turtle shell. Teeth appear to be pycnodont. Probably Anomoeodus sp. Way too small to be Anomoedus. I think that would rule out pycnodont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Maybe something like Deltaichthys then. They had knobby little teeth and were very small. Granted, that particular genus is Cenomanian...

gturner333 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Sorry to make it harder than it needs to be. I had planned to state the size. They are 1 - 2mm and domed shaped on top and with a slight donut shape on the bottom. Not the concave of the Pycnodonts i've seen. But, i'm sure i haven't seen them all. So i hope someone has a clue.

Coco Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hi, We are many foreigners on this forum, and I don't know to which age belongs North Sulphur River... It would be great to indicate the age for fossils to be identified. I think of sparidae fish teeth, sea bream. In France, in our Miocene, we have Sparus cinctus which looks like it a lot and which is very frequent.

sixgill pete Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I think they could be Anomaedus sp. Here is a picture of an A. phaseolus partial mouthplate I found at Greens Mill Run.
