Silfo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hello everyone! I found this one today, and I remember finding another similar years ago. Is this some kind of tooth? in the same place there are a lot of marine fossils, as far as I know it is not a tooth of shark. Maybe a cetacean? Not far away I have found a vertebra of a whale. The moment (epic) when I found it: The old one: Salutes from the south, below latitude - 45. Chao! Link to post Share on other sites
Macrophyseter Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Wondering if I could get more views with maybe possibly more clearer pics? The brown stuff looks like possible enamel to me, but at the same time the "root" is a bit too thin, which kinda makes me uneasy. If it is a tooth, then its not a cetacean either, as their teeth are conical, but this is like flat and sharp on the sides. It really reminds me of a reptile tooth...

ynot Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I am thinking it is a fin spine from a fish (?) Link to post Share on other sites
Macrophyseter Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 My answer from the above post is that I dont really think its actually a tooth, but also, I also think it may be a little too thick for a fin spine either (Unless its coming from a leedsichthys ) Link to post Share on other sites
Rockwood Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It may be helpful if you can give us a look at what would be the internal structure. Perhaps an end or one of the cracks. It sounds strange, but could it be a mold of an entire fin with the spine at the leading edge ? Link to post Share on other sites
Al Dente Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I think it is a bivalve, probably Pinna. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Fossildude19 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Pinna shell was my first impression, as well. No enamel, so it isn't a tooth. Link to post Share on other sites
abyssunder Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm pretty sure it's a "pen shell" like Pinna. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Silfo Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hello! busy week =). A few pics. Inside structure, it is like dirty quartz. The print in the other half Link to post Share on other sites
