Three new teeth from Holzmaden

Recommended Posts

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 :angry:

Otherwise it would be one of the best tooth in my collection !

Some very neat, exotic teeth :) I especially like the first one!

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!

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!
