Ptychodus tooth?

[NuHu]

Hi

What is it? 

Age:Cretaceous, Touronian

Location: Skałki Twardowskiego, Kraków, Southern Poland. 

The specimen was damaged during extraction.
That is why it is glued.

I'm not seeing any enamel here, nor any resemblance to Ptychodus teeth.   

No obvious raised center, no wrinkles on the surface of the center of the tooth.
That said, I am not sure what this is.

Ptychodus teeth do not occur in my area (South Florida) but I've seen several here on the forum. A key feature of these teeth seems to be an almost fingerprint-like texture on the surface. I'm not seeing shiny enamel nor any hint of this texturing. You have the fossil in hand and can examine it closer but, lacking any more close-up photos, it does not seem to be what you think it might.

 

 

Cheers.

Zęby Ptychodusa nie występują w mojej okolicy (Południowa Floryda), ale widziałem kilka tutaj na forum. Kluczową cechą tych zębów wydaje się prawie faktura przypominająca odcisk palca na powierzchni. Nie widzę błyszczącej emalii ani śladu tej tekstury. Trzymasz skamielinę w ręku i możesz ją bliżej zbadać, ale bez dalszych zdjęć z bliska nie wydaje się to, co myślisz.

Still not detailed enough with (I'm assuming) a smartphone camera to see any detail. A camera with a "macro" or "microscope" setting would be needed to reveal detail. You can see in person if there is any fingerprint-like detail but none seems to be visible in any of the photos you have posted.

 

Cheers.

EDIT: The last two photos added while I was posting are better but show no signs of it being a Ptychodus, sorry.

Some kind of calcitic-preserved invertebrate piece of fossil, i think.

No evidence for enamel or bone-structure, therefore no fossil of a vert...

As said, better photos may help to narrow it down a little bit...
