TaterSaurus Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hello. Not too long ago I went to Green Mill Run (Greenville, NC) and found this tooth. Now I found my regular shark teeth, and even alligator teeth, but never did I find one of these (pictured). I was hoping someone could identify. It is 1.5" long.Thanks!

FossilDAWG Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Welcome to the Fossil Forum! I also agree that it is an Enchodus tooth. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I agree, that Enchodus "fang". Big one!

AshHendrick Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Nice enchodus from GMR!! sometimes you will come across these within the material you find those, I didn't realize they were part of the root/jaw structure when I was collecting them until I found my first enchodus tooth/fang and ID'd it etc - just a heads up not to throw these things aside if you come across them, they are pretty neat. Also, if you use a 1/4 inch screen in that aged material, you can find some pretty awesome fish skulls with amazingly preserved detail - but it's TEDIOUS to sort through a 1/4 at GMR and turn over every piece to possible see one! I copied a photo from some other post b/c I couldn't find my own but it's the middle item here that's usually part of Enchodus: I am waiting on the day I find one WITH the tooth/fang attached - I may startle some people with my joyful shouts HAHA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
