Hey-hi All,

This is a shark tooth from the post oak creek micro mtrix that I thought was an odd tooth.

Does Anyone know what shark?

scale in mm.

Thanks,

Tony

Tony, This tooth is missing a great deal of identifying features. There are two possibilities that are found in the Eagle Ford Form. The first I believe is the correct one due to the placement of the cusps. That is a lateral Leptostyrax macrorhiza. The other is Protolamna sokolovi which there is a 50/50 chance of being correct. Hope others will also give an opinion----Tom

Hey Foshunter,

I looked it up and I think You are spot on with "lateral Leptostyrax macrorhiza"!! Thanks, I knew that the tooth was beat to @#@% and did not know if the cusp was distinct enough to ID.

Looks like a Pseudoscapanorynchus.
