From the album: Texas Santonian stage (Cretaceous)
Scapanorynchus texanus Santonian Austin Chalk The Santonian is an uncommon target for Texas fossil hunters, due to the often merciless difficulty of hunting vertebrates in the upper Austin Chalk. However, those rare, ephemeral lenses of fossiliferous accumulation make the hours of sweat and research worth it. Found the same day I discovered the Hadrodus specimen, August 2021. -
Upper Paleocene Lamniforms (Mitsukurinidae and Odontaspididae) ID from Chile
terminatordiego posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello to all guys!!!, I would like to ask again for help in the ID of some teeth. I´ve been searching in a local university's museum for teeth of the original strata (Upper Paleocene), and I have found a very interesting set of boxes containing a bunch of different teeth, all labeled as "Scapanorhynchus sp.", maybe existing a missidentification. The question would be if any of you guys can ID the pieces and how to differentiate the Scapanorhynchus sp. from Striatolamia striata or Sylvestrilamia teretidens, the options I´m leaning for the ID of the teeth. I would also like to check if you guys @will stevenson , @MarcoSr or @bthemoose have any info about it. You guys are awesome!! The ruler is a 1mm step grid, and I'll try to order them from anterior to posterior (I am aware that each one can be of different taxa), all of them have a stronger or weaker folded surface in lingual side. Any help or info is welcome, thanks guys!!! and greetings from Chile. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) Finally, this one has the weakest folding: -

I found less stuff than last time, but I found a nice centrum and a shard of a mosasaur tooth. A couple teeth grouped with Scapanorynchus may be Serratolamna sp.- 1 comment

There are four visible shark teeth in this one shot! Hint: three are right next to each other.- 2 comments
