Max-fossils Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hi all, I found this really weird thing two days ago on the Zandmotor (Netherlands). I think it's some kind of fish tooth, because (even though they don't look like each other) I think it might have had the same function as the Eotrigonodon fish teeth. Most of the fossils from the Zandmotor are Pleistocene, but sometime Eocene fossils show up (such as shark teeth). So it could be either. The thing is 3 mm long. Anyways, do you also agree with fish tooth? If yes, any clue on the species? Thanks in advance, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

FossilDAWG Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I don't recall the species off the top of my head, but yes it is a fish tooth. Don C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I agree - maybe a pycnodont brachial tooth.

Plax Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 looks a bit like Hadrodus/Stephanodus but don't think they make it to the Eocene. (in other words what Fossildude19 said) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in other words what Fossildude19 said) Thanks! The tooth is either Eocene or Pleistocene. Probably the only way to tell which one it is is by IDing to species.
