DeepTimeIsotopes Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 According to this map, Riyadh is in a Jurassic age rock and near Cretaceous age rock. That should narrow it down a little bit. @ynot 1 Each dot is 50,000,000 years: Hadean............Archean..............................Proterozoic.......................................Phanerozoic...........

FossilDAWG Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I deleted some posts to this thread, as they pertained to the ID of a nautiloid that has been posted in a different thread. Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The texture of the "teeth" looks more like shell material than enamel. There is no differentiation between the "teeth" and the "root." The "teeth" are one piece with no individual pieces. And the "bone" looks more like matrix than bone. I stick with the hinge of a clam shell. On the first pice, I am not well versed in fish tooth identification. Maybe @Fossildude19 can help.

jpc Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The first one looks like some sort of fish tooth to me. the second one... if it is a tooth it is pretty weird. can we see an end-on photo? Cool finds, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I think the first one is possibly a guitarfish tooth or some type of ray tooth. Possibly Pseudohypolophus or Protoplatyrhina or Hypolophodon. Well worn with a broken root. The second I think is a broken ray tooth such as myliobatis or rhinoptera. If there are both Cretaceous for the first tooth and Paleocene deposits for the second tooth these are possibilities.

The spacing between the ridges varies, the ray teeth I have seen have an even spacing. The central area is not the same material as the other parts of it, most ray teeth have a solid interior. The height of the ridges seems way short for the size of the object, whereas the ray teeth have a slightly larger "crown" than "root" (if the crown is unworn) The grove area next to the ridges is excessive, and is concave on both sides. . The grove on ray teeth is narrower and only concave on one side, the other side is convex to interlock with the next tooth in line. I still see a bivalve hinge line.
