jacob Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hello, If you have seen my prior posts, it would appear I'm on a lucky streak... I found the blade of this sharks tooth at the fleet, Weymouth It is from the middle Oxford Clay (Upper callovian) - specifically the Q. Lamberti/ C. scarburgense subzone bondary I believe it is Sphenodus longidens, though it is hard to tell without the root! Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated Cheers, Jacob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daves64 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Closer views & something like a ruler for scale instead of a coin would be helpful. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Nice one! I love Oxford Clay vertebrates -Christian Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...

jacob Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Daves64- I do apologise for the scale, but I don't have a ruler to hand - nor can my camera focus on such a small piece. The diameter of a British of a 1p is 20.3 mm, I hope that helps. Thanks for the enlarged image also fossildude19, they are very helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
