Paleodad5 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Could this be a Heterodontus species anterior tooth? ~6 mm x ~4mm. From Midlothian, TX pit trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharko69 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 My guess posterior tooth, possibly S.texanus judging by nutrient groove. But I am by far no expert. I have multiple similar teeth that I have found.I have attached one such tooth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoSr Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Your tooth is not a Heterodontus species. Here are some examples of Heterodontus species anterior teeth from the Miocene of Bakersfield, CA. Your tooth is a posterior tooth. It is very difficult to identify most posterior teeth to a genus/species. Marco Sr. 1 "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."
