sander Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 This topic is a short continuation of my previous topic on my Squalicorax collection, which can be seen here: This time I have chosen to show my Pseudocorax teeth. As with the Squalicorax teeth, I am open for trades and buying new additions. The oldest examples of Pseudocorax in my collection come from the Lower Campanian. Like the Squalicorax genus, they start off as a genus with very small teeth. Pseudocorax granti (x16) Ozan Formation Lower Campanian Moss Creek, Fannin County, Texas, United States of America See you guy tomorrow, Sander 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sander Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Today's tooth was found in Israel. According to this article: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271834542_Late_Cretaceous_Maastrichtian_ray-finned_fishes_from_the_Island_of_Gavdos_southern_Greece_with_comments_on_the_evolutionary_history_of_the_aulopiform_teleost_Enchodus (page 569, fig. 6) The age of the location is Late Campanian. Therefore this tooth can't be a Squalicorax falcatus and the only option for this age and this shape is Pseudocorax affinis (the other Pseudocorax species do not have serrations).

sander Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 For today we have already arrived in the Upper Maastrichtian. These teeth came from the lowest Horizon (Horizont) of the Formation of Maastricht.

sander Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Today's teeth were found three Horizons above the Lichtenberg Horizon, in the Horizon of Romontbos. They were found not far off the Eben-Emael Fort (famous for the German glider landings that took place on top of the fortress on 10 May 1940). Unfortunately I do not know in which of the two quarries (Romontbos or Marnebel) they were found.

sander Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Today's teeth were said to have been found in the Nekum member, but scientific papers on this quarry mention only the Emael member. Pseudocorax affinis (x7) Emael Member Upper Maastrichtian Sibbergroeve, Sibbe, Limburg, The Netherlands See you guys tomorrow for the last entry of this topic, Sander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sander Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 The last entry (for the time being). This partial tooth was found at Vroenhoven, where mainly material from the Meerssen Member can be found, but also Danian material. Because this tooth is quite rolled it can very well have been found in the Horizont of Vroenhoven, which separates the Maastrichtian and Danian stages. Pseudocorax affinis Meerssen Member (Horizont of Vroenhoven?) Upper Maastrichtian Vroenhoven, Limburg/Limbourg, Belgium I hope to see you soon!

siteseer Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 That is a very interesting collection of Pseudocorax teeth. P. granti is also known from the late Maastrichtian-age Kemp Clay of Commerce, Hunt County, Texas but it does not appear to be common.

sander Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 yes I have read that too on Elasmo, it is strange that it dies out in Europe while it can still be found in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
