ADfossils Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Hello! I just came back from the Isle of Wight. I started "digging" in the Vectis formation stones that I collected at Yaverland and found what looks like a pterosaur tooth. It is +- 3 cm (1,18 inch) in lenght. I couldn't find anything online from the Isle of Wight resembling this kind of dagger shape, more typical of the Rhamphorhynchus pterosaurs. So pterosaur, fish or something else? Thank you! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF7_Yuffie Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Looks like a type of Orinithocheirus tooth to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADfossils Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Hello again! I found another tooth in the same block (see picture of block and 4 pictures of new tooth). It's not complete because of erosion and still needs further prep'... If anyone already has an idea of what it could be from, it would be more than welcome! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF7_Yuffie Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 second one doesn't seem pterosaur. It looks to twist as it goes up. Odd one. A shark spine of some kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADfossils Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Hmm maybe it seems like that because there's a part missing. I found a lot of fish and shark spines from that formation, it is definitely enamel and not bone or a spine. Will try to prepare it further tonight and provide more pics. Thank you!
