Hipockets Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 In your opinion do I have a rock or a worn down heterodontus ? Neuse River NC, eocene and cretaceous . Scale is mm. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think rock. This pretty much should guarantee it's actually an Heterodontus! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think rock, no enamel. The line going through the middle is just a vein. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I too think this one is a rock, Hipockets. I personally have never seen a Heterodontus from this site. Now the Trent River site you posted the Physogaleus tooth from, I have 25 or so from there.

ynot Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Agree with the others. Also it seems large for the heterodon I have seen. (by 3x) Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Hipockets Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks everyone. Six, here is one I collected from the Neuse site you mentioned.( Assuming its the same site ) I never been to your Trent site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 That last tooth is from a bony fish called Anomoeodus. It has the shape of Heterodontus but the enamel is thick and rounded and is one of several in a bony plate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the laterals I have found, I have yet to find an anterior. One day, maybe. I do need to get some more matrix from the site though.

ynot Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 This is the only anterior heterodontus tooth I have pictures of, but I have found a dozen or so from Sharktooth hill. Scale is in millimeters. 3 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.

My microscope is not easily accessible and the tooth was put back into the pile of teeth from STH, so probably not able to do that. The top left pic is close to the view You requested. I will see if I can get a shot from that angle on one of the heterodontus anterior teeth I have, but it may be a little while. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
