FossilDiggin Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Went out on a hunt today and found the usual shark teeth ray barbs. Two of my finds I'm not sure about they seem to be either a claws or teeth. Found them in north Louisiana in an outcrop from the Late Cretaceous Epoch. Anyone have any ideas?

Runner64 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Could the second one be a crab claw? Not sure about the first one. Could you take some top and side views? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi, About the second one, I think it is a rostral tooth.

FossilDiggin Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 You guys nailed it on the second tooth it's for sure a Pristis! Man I love this web site you guys are a huge help! As far as the first one I'm still at a loss if it's a tooth or claw. My money is still on tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
