Ptychodus04 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 A good friend of mine sent me these pics of a mystery tooth from Morocco that he acquired. It looks like mammal to me but I'm not a tooth guy so I said I'd post them here and mine the hive mind of TFF.

PFOOLEY Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I keep thinking I saw this type of tooth here before and it belonged to a fish...I currently have no proof of this. 1 "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.

PFOOLEY Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hadrodus or Stephanodus or something like that 1 "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.

Ptychodus04 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks for the insight. This is why I like prepping instead of curating!!! @Fossildude19 He didn't say where he got it other than Morocco.

Al Dente Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It is probably Stephanodus libycus. Here is a broken example from "Marine vertebrate faunas from the Maastrichtian phosphates of Benguerir". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
