aek Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi, I found this tooth the other day near Starved Rock, Illinois. Pennsylvanian deposit, Livingston limestone. I can't seem to find a match. It's missing some bits, any ideas from the paleozoic shark experts? It measures about 7mm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I'm thinking @fossilized6s might have an opinion on this one. Cool find. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Have a look at Symmorium sp. Claddodus sp is a possibility too. @Archie 5 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

LanceH Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Look like a partial Edestus root to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutscheben Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I agree, it does look something like an isolated cusp of a Cladodus/Symmorium type. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
