Tidgy's Dad Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Nice teethies! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bthemoose Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Great teeth! The one on the right and top middle look like Cardabiodon. Bottom left is a Ptychodus. The other two look like Cretoxyrhina (probably C. mantelli). Others here can probably help with species level IDs, especially if you can provide more info on geologic formation/age. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you so much, don’t know anything about fossils but they were found in the bell fourche orman dam Link to post Share on other sites
LSCHNELLE Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Nice finds. I would say that the Ptychodus tooth is a P. decurrens (if low crowned) or P. occidentalis (if it has a significant bump in the middle of the crown). My impression of your picture is that it does have a moderate crown height (bump). Do you know which geologic formation they were found in?

LSCHNELLE Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 That is Late Cenomanian in age. So, Ptychodus occidentalis is a good choice. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I love Ptychodus teeth and have learned a lot from an expert paleontologist friend of mine. I don't mind providing an educated guess based on your photos. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
