Al Dente Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 It looks like a pharyngeal tooth from a pycnodont. I've never seen one quite like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Might want to check out Hadrodus as well. (Sharko69 I believe the pycnodont do get this big and larger.) 1 For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigHyatt Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi John. We just moved to Eagle Pass way south of you. I am retired and just started getting fascinated with this stuff. We dug trilobites in Utah at a tourist dig. This is the first time I've ever "freelanced". Looks to be a lot of Cretaceous sandstone and limestone down here. Info: Craig Hyatt, retired software/electrical engineer Experience: Beginner, fossil hunting less than a year Location: Eagle Pass, TX USA on the border with Mexico, hot dry desert Formation: Escondido, Marine, Upper Cretaceous Materials: Sandstone, Mudstone, Shale, Chert, Chalk Typical: Thalassinoides, Sphenodiscus, Exogyra, Inoceramus Reference: http://txfossils.com/Txfossils.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
