Hi everyone, I have been going through and organizing all the matrix I have stored in my garage. Slowly washing, drying and sifting trough. My son is getting a kick out of it! He has his own fossil corner now just for him. We started out rinsing Aurora, NC matrix and then moved on to some from Texas. I can not recall where in Texas the matrix came from, my labels had deteriorated. We have been looking through our books and online for identification of the two teeth I posted. If any can help with this, please do.

 

The first tooth is from the Aurora, NC matrix (Miocene/Pliocene).microtooth2018.9.jpg.8c2d8c1415381782aee490f7f54c0ec6.jpg 3mm in length.microtexastooth2018.1.jpg.6dde3e534add702f5ae507a7698772e9.jpgTexas tooth. About 1mm. Ray tooth?

The first tooth is a posterior tooth possibly from a Carcharodon sp - Great White shark. (see following posts.)

The second piece is a ray dermal denticle (looks like a Shark Tooth Hill piece.).

I think the tooth is a chubutensis from the Pungo River Formation. I agree with Tony that the denticle looks like it is from Shark Tooth Hill.

By golly that is the tiniest chub (or any megatooth) I've ever seen! 3mm? That’s gotta be a rare find.

Happy hunting,

I agree with Eric on a posterior chubutensis from the Pungo River Formation. I agree with Tony on a ray dermal denticle that looks like it is from Shark Tooth Hill.
