crinoid1 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) So I went out looking in the Monteagle Limestone last weekend and found this monster. I haven't finished prepping it yet, but I couldn't resist posting a picture. Hope you like it! EDIT - It is a Chomatodus tooth. Forgot to put the name. (Excuse the bad picture... I don't have a real camera with me) Edited November 23, 2013 by crinoid1 I like crinoids...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crinoid1 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Just a little edit.... JimB88 has corrected my ID on the tooth. It is actually a Psammodus, not Chomatodus. Thank you! I guess I don't know my teeth like I wish I did! I like crinoids...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
