North Sulfur River Fossil ID

Hello! I Found this while fossil hunting at Ladonia Fossil Park in Texas, anyone know what it could be? Thank you!

Welcome to the forum!

My guess is that could be a Ichthyodectid jaw, maybe a Xiphactinus audax mandible?

Really? That’s awesome! What makes you think so?

Nice find! 

Hello, Breanne, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco.

Thank you!

Here's an image of a Xiphactinus mandible from the Science Photo Library.

Note that your jaw is the same sort of shape and imagine it without the teeth.

Nice find.

 

Just a hint for future posts- please take pictures from all sides straight on. This will help us to get a better idea of what  a piece looks like.

 

Thanks,
