Recommended Posts

Nice tooth found in Richmond, Queensland of Creataceous age in marine sediments.

It has been id as a sharks tooth but is missing the top section.

Any more info on this tooth would be great. Cheers

  • Huntlyfossils changed the title to Marine tooth ,Central Queensland

Definitely not a shark tooth. 

Reptile or fish, likely.

The striations remind me of pliosaur or ichthyosaur. A very nice find

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!
