LanceH Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 I also have this tooth found a couple weeks earlier identified as either Ichthyosaur or also Pliosaur? What is the forum's opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Really nice tooth! Congratulations on a great find! I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesuslover340 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Both are mis-identified Goniopholis croc teeth; I believe you should send these to me so as not to bear the shame of possessing such pitiful specimens any longer On a completely different note-quite enviable finds! Edit: I don't think these are actually croc teeth-just joking!

-Andy- Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Gosh! Whether it's pliosaur, ichthyosaur or croc, it's a darn fine tooth. 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...
Mike from North Queensland Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Nice tooth and I suspect the specimen with the full crown is pliosaur but without the root its would be hard to confirm. Marine reptile is the only certain id. That is unless there was only the one option from the formation where the tooth came from.

Ptychodus04 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 @LanceH From the pics it looks like this is from the basal Eagle Ford Group, possibly Tarrant Formation? If that assumption is correct, I would personally lean towards pliosaur for the ID. I am unaware of any croc teeth reported from the Eagle Ford, although it is possible since they are abundant in the underlying Woodbine formation. It seems that the rising seal level during the Late Cenomanian pushed the crocodilians out of the area.

LanceH Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 The two teeth are from different locations about 45 miles apart. The bigger one is from the Tarrant or lower Britton Formation. The smaller one is from just above the Kamp Ranch limestone at the junction of the Britton and Arcadia Park Formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The top one is almost certainly pliosaur then. Grats on a wonderful tooth. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

Macrophyseter Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 What a rare find! (I want to rob the first tooth off your hands, that how much I like that one) If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!
