jacob Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Pre-apologies for the picture, it is rather small and doesn't pick up well on my camera... Nonetheless, can anyone help identify this tooth? I have the name on the tip of my tongue, but my books are not with me to help identify it... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Would it be Akaimia ? Great find, whatever it is! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Is this a species of cowshark? It's a neat looking tooth. What time period is it from? I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Oxford Clay is Jurassic if I am correct. reminds me of Echinorhinus (Bramble Shark) but wrong time period. Very interesting tooth. Edit: There are known Hexanchidae from the Jurassic my mistake. So this does make this a possibility. @Darktooth 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I think Notidanus can be found there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anomotodon Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 It is indeed Notidanus cf. muensteri upper lateral which are indeed known from Oxford clay and are cowsharks (Hexanchiformes). 6 The Tooth Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
