belemniten Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I want to show three teeth from Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). I prepped them today although the first one is an older find (but also from this year). The first one is a very small tooth (0.8cm) but well preserved. I am not sure with the determination ... maybe Ichthyosaurus ? The second one is bigger with a length of 1.2 cm. Shadefully its not well preserved and a part is missing Its a crocodile tooth (Steneosaurus): And the last one is the most beautifully tooth ! Its large with a length of 2.1 cm but very thin and i think also a crocodile tooth. It was very to prep this one and i think you can see my mistakes In the middle of the tooth i lost some material Otherwise it would be one of the best tooth in my collection ! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for viewing! 1 Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesuslover340 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Some very neat, exotic teeth I especially like the first one!

-Andy- Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Beautiful teeth all of them. You did a great job. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TqB Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Nice teeth! You could try filling the broken one with black wax - I've done it a few times and it blends well and is reversible. Use heat and a spatula to shape it. Try dripping the wax in first off the end of the gently heated spatula - a low flame from a blow torch or gas cooker would do but hold the spatula in a cloth if it doesn't have a handle! 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
