Nice Tooth, But What Species?

Just found this tooth in the place that usually features Petalodus and Peripristis ;)

It was in a big limestone stone. The root is partially broken. With the actual tools, I cannot do nothing more in cleaning. It was exactly in the place where last year I found my first paleozoic shark spine

Any guess?

A shark tooth and a shark spine...

I'd figure out a way to get that tooth out. WAY too nice!

that looks to be an awesome site! The mystery tooth could be a Cladodus or Symmorium (if Im seeing it correctly in the pic)

Excellent collecting site! I really like the first picture of the tooth in the matrix!

Do you have some of those 'upside-down masks' for him to use?

You did, I assume, at least get it on your knee? :P

Thanks Brent :)

Sadly I broke the rest of the tooth root. I am mad for this because I never broke any fossils from that pit. Anyway i did pretty well with the other kind of teeth :)meg%20dance.gifmeg%20dance.gifmeg%20dance.gif:drool:

That is when having a small tube of thin super glue comes in handy. Along with some masking tape over the specimen you will at least go home with all the parts.

That is an impressive variety of teeth as well.

Thanks for sharing.

We air scribed some of these teeth at my house this week...I think Nando and Diana are en route back to Italy today, but once they are settled, perhaps you'll get to see the "after" pics.

You guys have a safe trip! Hope to meet up again, and I'll keep looking for productive sites for you.

Thanks everyone and thanks America, once again you were very generous with us :)
