Chinatichampsus wilsonorum
Chinatichampsus wilsonorum, South TX
Lutetian, Eocene
Jan, 2024
Well I hunted a new site this weekend and I must say it's pretty spectacular. This is the find of the day for sure. Chinatichampsus is my best guess. This genus was described recently from the Eocene of the Chinati Mountains in West Texas. The teeth I found exhibit a wide degree of heterodonty and fearsome serrations. Posterior teeth are bulb shaped and gradually become pointed moving anteriorly. This tooth was somewhere in between the extremes.
