Fun Finding

Recommended Posts

I found this tooth and about 4 outlets like it in the chalk of Kansas today. It almost feels square and like a bone .

Looks possibly like Enchodus.

I agree with @Darktooth, here's a pic I found online:

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.

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?
