ltrapper Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I went to Post Oak Creek this weekend. Lots of fun and lots of fossils to ID and enjoy. The wealth of info on this site has proven immensely helpful in helping me ID my finds. Thank you all! I am having trouble with identifying this tooth. If you have any ideas please let me know. Any help is much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 There is not enamel, so I'm thinking fish spine - but wait for the experts. 3 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I agree with fish spine. Looks modern to me also. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltrapper Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) I have seen so many of these, although on living catfish, (and endured the agony of a puncture or two) but I don't think I would have ever recognized it without your help. Thank you all! Edited March 21, 2018 by ltrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNCollector Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Yeah that looks like a modern catfish spine, been stung by those a few times before while fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
