Teeth? New to teeth IDs. Austin, TX


kaleidoscopica

Recommended Posts

I am very new to fossil hunting... this started all of a sudden after I basically tripped on a big Exogyra ponderosa in my local creek the other week, and got curious what else was out there. So I've just scooped through a bunch of gravel in Brushy Creek here and found a lot of little things that I wonder what they could be. 

 

1. Tooth? (First two photos, front and back)

2. Smaller tooth? (Single photo)

3. Maaaaybe a tooth as well, or just an exceptionally pointy rock? (Last two photos)

Thanks -- let me know if any other photos or info is needed. Next time I'll use a ruler :).

Hello and welcome to the forum.  I have to agree with @Ludwigia 's opinion above, no teeth that I can tell.  However, you are in a good area to find a large variety of fossils.  If you want to get more involved, I suggest that you join the Paleo Society of Austin.  At least plan on attending their Fossil Fest next weekend @ Old Settlers Park.  I think you will enjoy that.

I did see that and wanted to go, unfortunately timing doesn't work as I have other plans already. Will keep an eye on their other events as would love to learn from someone in person soon.

The PSA meets monthly and has monthly field trips.  That is an excellent way to meet folks of like interest and learn from them. (Just sayin') :rolleyes:

No enamel present. No root texture or tooth morphology.

Definitely some fakers there.

Keep Looking.
