Napoleon North Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hi I bought this pterosaur tooth. On the specimen there are also numerous remains of fish and sharks. But one tooth is different. Did he belong to another reptile or brachiopod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm probably being a complete berk, but it looks like a pelecypod from here. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Looks like a brachiopod, to me. Not a tooth.

JohnBrewer Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Brachiopod for me too. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 +1 for brachiopod. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

westcoast Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It looks like it could benefit from some prepping to expose more which would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 +2 for brachiopod. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Can we also see the pterosaur tooth you mention?

westcoast Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 While i see where the votes for brachiopod are coming from, there is something about it that just doesn't quite look right for brachiopod... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Could also be a bivalve part, perhaps from a scallop. It's certainly not a tooth at any rate. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomotodon Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I think it is a basal part of a hybodont shark tooth (probably Egertonodus). Is it from Wealden beds? I think I could have seen your specimen on the auction site. I also have similar hybodont teeth from the same location. Their labial side is strongly striated.

Napoleon North Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yes this is wealden And pterosaur tooth from Wealden. I have it from you West Parade Fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomotodon Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 This object looks interesting, can we see sharper pictures of it? It looks like it has serrations, therefore it is most likely from a theropod dinosaur (maybe Neovenator or Eotyrannus). There were no sharks with serrated teeth in Neocomian. Right part of the "pterosaur tooth" actually looks like a tooth, but I am not sure about the left one. The Tooth Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anomotodon Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Unfortunately, doesn't look like it had serrations, therefore it could be anything. The Tooth Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 ... and that would might be (the specimen in question).
