Fossilsupremacy Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Found a pretty cool fossil yesterday- has what definitely looks like some fossil teeth in it, along with a tiny, almost shrimp or krill looking creature. Here are the photos- fossil is almost 8 centimeters tall- a little over 3 inches for my american friends. it’s a bit hard to measure the width cause it’s a little wonky shaped and math isn’t my strong suit… you’ll have to go with this for now.

Kane Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 To my eye, this looks like the ridges on a brachiopod or similar shell-based creature. 1 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Or an oyster. Not teeth anyway, although they do leave the uninitiated with that impression. 1 1 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I'd go with a cross section of some sort of oyster. No bone or bone texture for jawbone, and no enamel, so they are not teeth. Maybe something like Rastellum sp? 1 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

ClearLake Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Yep, I agree with @Fossildude19, looks like the edge of a Rastellum to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
