Pennsylvanian tooth

Recommended Posts

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

Have a look at Symmorium sp.

 

Claddodus sp is a possibility too.

I agree, it does look something like an isolated cusp of a Cladodus/Symmorium type.
