TRexEliot Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Found this today at calvert cliffs. The only things I could think of that it could be were a juvenile porpoise or crocodile tooth. Anyone have any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave pom Allen Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 looks like a dolphin tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Hi, I think it could be fish.

Al Dente Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I agree with fish tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Completely agree. I see these same slightly curved conical teeth on a daily basis while picking through micro-matrix gravel from the late Miocene Montbrook site in Florida. Difficult to spot these micros when out in the field collecting without the aid of magnification. Good eyes! Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRexEliot Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 @Al Dente any idea what species it could be? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRexEliot Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 @Al Dente thanks! Looked up "pharyngial teeth miocene" and found a remarkably similar example of a similar size illustrated in a recent paper. Mystery solved, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hi, If you know any more, I’m interested in knowing.
