Mississippian Tooth - Peripristis


Jurassic Jim

Recommended Posts

Had a little time this past Sunday to get out and enjoy the cool sunny weather in N. Alabama. Found some nice brachs and this nice little tooth it is missing part of one side but root and crown mostly complete. Has nice serrations when viewed from back. Sorry the first close-up of the front is not very clear. Alos included is an in situ shot in the sticky shale. A few other fossils present including a nice brach, believe to be othotetes sp.

Nice tooth. I like the in-situ picture with other fossils also present. Looks like a productive area.
