I found this tooth last week in the blufftown formation that runs through South Alabama. It was found on the same bar as the fully rooted Xiphactinus tooth I posted a couple of weeks ago. To me, it appears to be another tooth with a partial root but I’m unsure. It has characteristics of both Xiphactinus audax and vetus so that’s what has me so puzzled. It’s just over 1.25 inches long and a .25 inches wide. Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like it could maybe be Enchodus ferox... I’ve never found or seen one with the root but that’s an awesome find!

Interesting tooth. It is almost confusing as to which side is the root or crown - one side looks like a vetus crown and the other looks like an audax crown. But I’d say it is a vetus and in the first pic the crown is on the bottom and the root on top.
