NCFossils Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I was lucky enough to get some matrix from the famous cookie cutter creek this weekend from @digit and started searching through it grain by grain tonight. Came across this tooth and can't seem to find it in any of my papers and books. Sure I just overlooked it, but I'm sure someone can help me.

snolly50 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 @NCFossils and @Wolf89 Here is a link to a poem submitted to a Forum contest. It is hoped it will inspire your search. 2 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I think this is a Galeorhinus tooth. It is very small and young Hemipristis don't have this many cusps to their teeth. If not Galeorhinus, something very closely related. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of posterior hemipristis that look just like this, except they have intact roots. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
