Maxsg Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I hit my favorite creek spot again and I found a lot more new things than I usually do. I found these teeth that looked like broken shark teeth tips but I realized were to flat to be shark teeth. Sorry the seconds blurry. But they seem to be sharp on one edge and round on the other. And yes I know i have a few croc teeth mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnph Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Ah, now this is bringing me back, I used to love hitting up creeks in north FL! PM me if you're in the Gainesville area and I'd be happy to share a couple of my old spots, though it's always possible they've been developed over in the last 15 years. The flatter one in the center-bottom looks like a barracuda tooth, and a couple others might be too, otherwise it looks mostly like crocodilian/alligator teeth and weathered sharks teeth to me. Edit: for comparison, here are a couple barracuda teeth from my old fossil jar that I collected in FL creeks, these were positively ID'd by a professor in the paleontology dept at UF Second edit: That extra broken one near the middle might be a dolphin tooth, I'm adding a comparison photo of those as well.

PaleoNoel Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I would agree with croc, gator and barracuda teeth- which I believe is the majority of what you found. Their teeth come in more forms than just the flattened, flower petal shaped variety, I have several similar to yours that are recurved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxsg Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Thank you guys this was very helpful, and Winnph Im actually in central Florida but I visit family in Gainesville sometimes and hunt up there. I usually only hit hogstown creek because I don't know any other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
