Raistlin Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 So far this is the only tooth like this I have found. It's in some material from Gainesville, FL I bought several years ago. Rattlesnake Creek Coosawhatchie formation Hawthorn Group Miocene aged Any idea on what it might be? RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raistlin Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 @Sacha I'm pretty sure I got this material from you when I got the other stuff. I bought 4 or 5 boxes of stuff back then lol RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raistlin Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 It was suggested this might be conodont. Any thoughts or knowledge on that? RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conodonts went extinct in the Triassic. There are no outcrops that old in Florida. This looks like a tooth patch from a bony fish or possibly a highly ornamented piece of operculum.

Raistlin Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Good to know I can rule that out. And that would be why I wasn't finding anything on that either. Thank you. RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
