sseth Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 But what are these ?? Teeth ? DSCN1026.JPG Thanks for your help Rgeards They do appear to be teeth. Possibly ichthyosaur. They even have the typical hollow space one would expect to see in teeth from that area. Amazing find! _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike from North Queensland Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Nice find and I also think teeth. With the clean breaks there should be more in the area. Are you going to partially prep the specimen to expose more of the bone to confirm what it is? Mike D'Arcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
