Tooth (?) ID

[JoanaS.]

Can this be a partial fossilized tooth?

Was found around the geosite Natural Monument of Pedras Ruivas and The Cemetery of Ancient beaches of Alcantilado de Montedor Local Natural Monument.

Those geosites are relevant due to Rheic Ocean suture, which is recognised as the major Palaeozoic Ocean of southern Europe laying at the time between Laurentia and Gondwana.

 

Visible, at the Natural Monument of Pedras Ruiva, several ichnofossils from Paracentrotus lividus, possibly from the Cretaceous.

Yes, tooth. But contemporary. Bison or cow

I don't understand what you mean, because Paracentrotus lividus is a recent sea urchin.

Modern cow tooth for me.

Thank you so much. Was not sure if it was fossilized, partially

Sorry, but my native language is not English.

 

I still don’t understand why you’re talking about Paracentrotus lividus from the Cretaceous when it’s a recent species. In the excerpt from the book there is no mention of fossil P. lividus. Something escapes me, you or someone else to explain please.

I believe the OP is referencing the area where the tooth was found, that there have been trace fossils from the urchins found in the area. Definitely not Cretaceous, though.

Thanks for the aid!

Its basically that, I would say.

 

Its such a rich section. Paleozoic Era is the major interest, but there other strata and different systems.
