Al Dente Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 The main reason I believe this is a posterior from a Notorhynchus is a few years ago I saw a recent Hexanchus posterior tooth (extreme posterior) that looked identical. This was found several years ago while screening some black sand from the Pungo River Formation from the Lee Creek Mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I have a juvenile jaw from a recent Notorhynchus. Checked the posterior teeth under a scope and I can confirm its a match. Congratulations its a very difficult position to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations its a very difficult position to find. Thanks for confirming this. Very nice Eric. Did you screen this while in the mine? I used to bring out at least a gallon of black sand from the Pungo each time I visited the mine. I would screen this material at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
