Brevicollis Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 My most critical, interesting, controversial, and hot debated tooth of a mammal, might be human, might be deer, might be everything. It was identified in a Facebook group as human, but this Forum had some other wild ideas, nobody agreed on everyones opinion, so its still a mystery. If you have an idea, please let me know in the comments ! Species : mammal indet. Age : Not known, but its very old Formation : Clay cliffs, Hejlsminde, Denmark Sice (crown) 0,8 cm, (full tooth) 2 cm I like fossils... Thats all I have to say.

Please just say its the root, please just say its the root, god, please have mercy... Im a very young collector, I only have pocket money, and this tooth nearly drained all of it ! Was it really for a cheap and bad specimen ?! Really ! Man im so sad right now im about to cry, so much hard earned pocket money, for a cheap fabrication. I cant sell it, maybe refund it, but its been almost one year since I bought it, I dont want to throw it in the trash bin ! I noticed there was something off about the root, but I wanted to be happy with my tooth and dont want to accept the fact, that its mostly a fabrication. I had made a topic about this tooth before, but whenever I hear its mostly fake, I dont want to accept that as it was so much money and everytime it nearly makes me cry... How should I handle with it ? Edited May 1 by Brevicollis I like fossils... Thats all I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something seems wrong with the age. I also know these teeth as coming from Buttenheim, though don't know the exact location. They date back to the Toarcian (176-183 myo), making them the same age as what's being found at Holzmaden, though the matrix over there, of course, consists of oil shale. The faunal assemblages, however, are equivalent. 1 hour ago, Brevicollis said: Species : Ichthyosaur indet. @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon, do you have an idea ? The fine anastomosing ridglets in the tooth identify it as Temnodontosaurus trigonodon. 31 minutes ago, Brevicollis said: Wow, that's a nice one!

If you're still in contact with the original seller, you might try reaching out to them for a refund. And if you still like the looks of it, you can always keep it for the aesthetics of it. Other than that, it really depends how much you value your integrity... 🤷🏻♂️ 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont scam anybody, as theyll get the information and I think the right price for it.

North Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I would agree with Pachy. If I would see that Steneosaurus or Temnodontosaurus for sale, I would most likely try to get it. (If I would have more funds at the moment). 1 There's no such thing as too many teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but then this particular tooth would be in this Forum, and maybe the interested buyer will see it before he actually buys it. But you are right, but otherwise, I have no Idea what to do with it.

I saw them so often on different websites, and thought that theyre quite common 😅 Atleast for me for example, finding these teeth online is difficult. Steneosaurus teeth I see sometimes, but often without the tip. Or very expensive if shop is outside of Germany. I don't remember seeing Temnodontosaurus tooth for sale, but I have not looked for that long. And actually I did not know you can buy German ichthyosaur fossils before Pachy mentioned about it. And even then I needed to ask help of friends from Austria. Edited May 2 by North There's no such thing as too many teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
