Searcher78 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I’m not sure what type of tooth this is. Maybe Notorynchus/Cow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indominus rex Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Looks to me like a broken tiger shark tooth. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The "denticles" look regular, I don’t feel it’s broken, but I may not see well.

Searcher78 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 I had it with my tiger shark teeth, but it sticks out like it doesn’t belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcher78 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Here is a pic of a tiger/unknown/cow. If I can’t figure it out, then I’ll call it a hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It reminds me of a g. contortus tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyw Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 @caldigger Try this... I’m thinking rt bottom section missing/worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Can you take a clearer picture of the serrations? It would be helpful to know if the serrations are simple or complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Ya, I suppose that might be feasible. But Im still finding the main spike to be too straight and the smaller cusps to be in a straight flattened plain compared to a "normal" contortus. Again there may be something going on pathological wise. This larger portion doesn't look like it's broken and worn. I wonder if we can get some clearer pictures of this tooth.

Randyw Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 There is a lot of wear to it...and the wear seems heaviest on that side.... but that would be my guess. You can even kind of see where the curve started on the bottom... matter of fact your lightened photo makes me even more sure of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searcher78 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I can definitely see what your talking about. When I look closely at the root, it is missing that portion. I’ll go with tiger. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
