digit started following Is this an Angustidens shark tooth?
-
Agreed. The side cusps seem more separate and outward pointing which would indicate an O. obliquus and not the younger C. auriculatus. As this older species is commonly found (and available) from Morocco, I assume this was a purchased tooth and not a personal find. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/87071-shark-teeth/&do=findComment&comment=944193 Cheers. -Ken

2019 Secret Santa Exchange Festival of Fossils
Bobby Rico replied to caldigger's topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
That’s great mate and that another Santa delivery checked off. It is nice to open it on Christmas Day i think When I get some deliveries form the USA sometimes when checking the tracking number it says address can’t be found, I now know this means they did not have time to deliver it on that day and the next the delivery arrives . It would be less stressful if they just said the truth. All the best Bobby- 319 replies

Orthospirifer marcyi (Hall,1857) (Brachiopod) Middle Devonian (398 to 385 million years ago) Moscow formation New York Found 9/2019 prepped 12/3/2019 We find maybe 4 or 5 of these large spirifers a season and usually, due to their shape and size, they are found in poor condition. This fully inflated specimen is the exception to what we normally find. Because it was a rare find, we had to send it out to be properly prepared under a microscope using an air scribe so the fine details of the shell would be revealed. The matrix I was told was difficult to blast through and I said yeah, that's why I sent it to you. It might not be glamorous like a trilobite but finding this species of brach in this condition is very rare for my sites/area. So finding this was as thrilling as finding a complete/rare trilobite to me. Thanks
