sharko69 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Found this at Post Oak Creek. Symphseal tooth of some sort but much different than any I have found or seen. Would love some help on IDing this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Wow that is a cool tooth! In the last pick it reminds me of a hemi lower tooth but I know that its not because Post oak is cretaceous. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last pick it reminds me of a hemi lower tooth but I know that its not because Post oak is cretaceous. If this tooth were a Hemispristis, it would be a symphyseal; and it does look eerily like one. But as you said would be completely out of place. Could it possibly be a Leptostyrax symphyseal? I am not sure if this genus occurs in Post Oak Creek sediments, but it seems to be the closest match I can find in Welton, 1993. I also considered Paraisurus, but the root lobes do not look right to me.

sharko69 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 There are striations on the lingual face of the tooth. Would that not rule out Leptostyrax and Paraisurus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it would. I looked at the first pic better and noticed the striations this time. Could the tooth be a well worn pathologic S. texanus? Or maybe even a symphyseal S. texanus? I have never seen a symphyseal from this species, but that does not mean it is not possible. 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...
