barry maness Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 This neat little tooth really has me stumped. It was found on the banks od the Wando river in Charleston SC. Does anyone know what kind of tooth it is/ Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Can you take better close-up pics? I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilGuy1024 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 What age is this? There is a Cretaceous shark, Paranomotodon sp., that favors it. Check out this site: http://www.fossilsofnj.com/shark/extinct_thresher.htm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry maness Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 That is a real possibility. Unfortunately, part of the root is missing. I there are signs of a nutrient grove, but can't say for sure. Lngual root may be concave, but again, not sure. Defintly a good candidate. Thanks!

Al Dente Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Maybe Anomotodon if this is Cenozoic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the root structure looks different than what is remaining on this particular tooth. The root lobe appears more bulbous I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.
