brad hinkelman Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 is this a ray tooth and scute and also any help on what appears to be a tooth...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Yes you have a ray tooth and dermal scute from a ray. If you can get good in focus pics from all angles of the tooth; top, bottom and sides it may be able to be ID'd to species. The other item appears to me to be the broken corner of the root of a shark tooth with some of the cusplets on it. 3 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramon Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) The tooth looks like a mammal tooth with a jaw fragment.

ynot Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 1 minute ago, Ramon said: The tooth looks like a mammal tooth with a jaw fragment. It does have a semblance to a mammal jaw, but it is the root and cusps from the side of a shark tooth. Something like a tiger shark. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

abyssunder Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The upper one in the first picture is a ray dermal denticle, the second one is a two-rooted tooth with a hexagonal-shaped grinding surface, similar to Myledaphus bipartitus, but it has a better resemblance with a Brachyrhizodus wichitaensis tooth. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

sixgill pete Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 After seeing abyssunder's reply and after looking at the tooth closer, I believe he is correct in saying Brachyrhizodus witchitaensis. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Your third object is a shark tooth root lobe with part of the side cusp. Could be Scapanorhynchus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
