Max-fossils Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 @will stevenson super cool find! The Squalicorax, crow shark, tooth is most likely S. pristodontus @jnoun11 what makes you say the smaller tooth is also Prognathodon, and not something else?

Notidanodon Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Yes all of these have been found as I dug up everything other than the mosasaur tooth and wanted to uncover more, discovered a sharks tooth and kept. Digging so basically I got like 5 fossils when I thought I had 1 which was a nice surprise 1 hour ago, Past Hunter said: What I would like to know is are all of these as found, or have some been added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-fossils Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I would say that is a bony fish tooth indeed (probably Enchodus)! It is a little flattened it seems like. @jnoun11 do you agree?

jnoun11 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 hi max this material come from the phosphates mines of khouribga, not the atlas mountain bani. and for the tooth if flattened, it s enchodus lybicus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchodus The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
