Lower Cretaceous Teeth


erose

Recommended Posts

For years now I have been trying top get a better handle on the various small teeth I find in the Albian age rocks of Central Texas.  I have A number of different forms.  Finsley, 1996, describes a single genus Uranoplosus as "Lower Cretaceous, Duck Creek/Fort Worth Fms".  I have another publication "Lower Vertebrate Faunas of the Trinity Division in North-Central Texas, J.T. Thurmond, 1974, that lists many other genera (not Uranoplosus). But these two associated teeth are a bit different. Note the rather hooked and tapered shape.  Anyone ever encountered something similar or can suggest another reference or two?

 

The specimen is from Unit 3, Upper Member of the Glen Rose Formation (Albian) of Kendall County, Texas.
