Fun Finding Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I found this tooth and about 4 outlets like it in the chalk of Kansas today. It almost feels square and like a bone . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Looks possibly like Enchodus. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I agree with @Darktooth, here's a pic I found online: “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Better pictures would greatly help in getting a more positive ID. The "tooth" needs to be the focal point of the picture. Also a picture of the root end is always very helpful in identifying possible fish teeth.

FossilDAWG Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 That image from "online" is remarkably poor. I might guess that the middle object could possibly be an Enchodus palatine fang, but it is so worn that it is impossible to be certain. The two flanking objects could be anything, they are so worn. The fossil shown by Fun Finding is most likely an Enchodus tooth, as Darktooth noted, though better photos would help as Don (sixgill pete) mentioned. What do you mean by 4 outlets BTW?

Xiphactinus Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Definitely an enchodus tooth. http://oceansofkansas.com/Enchodus.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
