jax Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I acquired this tooth this week. It was found in Morocco, But they have found these babies in Texas, so maybe one day I will find one On a recent trip to SMU, I was shown entire jaw sections full of these teeth. They are really cool. And they sorta look like Ptychodus teeth, and those are my favorite sharks tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) These are very interesting teeth used for crushing (ammonoids?). The North African version is Globidens aegypticus.

emmytee Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 what a beautiful tooth! I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. ~ E. B. White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Nice tooth. I have two small whole ones from Frankstown, Mississippi. However, I have found fragments there that dwarf the whole ones. They are really neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Sorry for the bad focus. I just cant get the depth of field thing correct. I actually had three small ones. the large piece I mentioned is probably only the same size as you is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thats sweet Jax and now I know what it was Cierra found last week at the Sulphur. It was only half of one but now I know what to look for. Thanks for posting those.
