Vin Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hello all, was wondering if this is a fish tooth or something more interesting? I haven't seen anything like it before, but maybe it's just enchodus again. Thank you for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Woah, no way! Did I finally find one? It's not entirely straight like the photos suggest, it has a curve to it and many ridges/edges down the side. I'll try to take a few more photos for a more accurate look. Thanks again!

njfossilhunter Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Congratulations..... Its the most rarest of the mosasaur teeth you can find in the NJ brooks..... Its a mosasaurus maximus tooth and you can tell by the way the tooth is faceted. 3 TonyThe Brooks Are Like A Box Of Chocolates,,,, You Never Know What You'll Find.

Vin Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Here are a few more views. It would be amazing if it indeed was a mosasaur tooth! Spent ages looking for one without any luck haha It just didn't look like any of the other mosasaur teeth I have seen others find. I will guess that this is from a small/young animal, and maybe a pterigoid tooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 That's awesome news! Took so many hours of searching to find it.. How weathered do you guys think it is? Seems to be in decent condition, far from complete but looks like a tooth still! Huge thank you to everyone who helped ID this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
