Auspex Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 That beautiful tooth is only 1/4"? Truely a "small wonder"!

Bill Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Not Shark but these are certainly the smallest fish teeth I have. Not yet identified the "stones" surrounding it are grains of sand. Cretaceous, Lower Weald Clay, Surrey, England. Edit. I have just had another look and tried to measure this, the maximum dimension of the whole palate is less than 1.5mm. KOF, Bill.

jbstedman Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I'm also going to post a picture of a related object. This I've identified (with help from elasmo.com) as a dermal denticle from a bramble shark (Echinorhinus blakei). Now I need to find a bramble shark tooth. Besides fossils, I collect roadcuts, Stream beds, Winter beaches: Places of pilgrimage. Jasper Burns, Fossil Dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 "Say hello to my little friends". My hoard of Avisaurus archibaldi; a late Cretaceous bird (Not shark, but carinvorous & tiny). The largest one, at 1/4", is ridiculously large for the species.

Bill Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 OK, I have to know: how in the world did you find this?! It's on the back of a 21cm wide piece of bonebed I was checking out through my microscope. The l/h pic shows another, different type of palate (button teeth), amongst other bits, from the left side of the the r/h pic. KOF, Bill.

ShadyW Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 So, encouraged by this thread, I sifted through the piles of teeth that my kids like to pick up at Post Oak Creek here in Texas. I always knew they loved to collect the tiny ones, but on the whole I ignored them. Can anyone tell me what this little beauty is? Every complex scientific problem has an elegant and simple solution... and it is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadyW Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Encouraged by how that photo turned out, I took a picture of all our sub-1/4" teeth that are in good condition. A couple look to me like fish teeth of some sort, and the one center-bottom appears to be completely conical and neither fish nor shark.
