fossilized6s Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I found a new spot in Illinois that is loaded with carboniferous black shale. And this tooth fragment has gotten me pretty excited. Can anyone attempt an ID on this partial? The tooth measures about 1/2" × 1/2". ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilized6s Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks, Paul and Tim. Any Carboniferous shark guys care to chime in? I figured it's a long shot to ID such a small fragment. I really don't need it for labeling purposes, it's more for research purposes to see what and where I'm dealing with. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNCollector Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I don't think this partial is identifiable to even a genus. The best you can do is put it in the family Cochliodontidae, but I would be even skeptical to go that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
