Williamb55 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I was wondering if anybody would be able to ID this tooth for me. It reminds me of a spider by the way it looks with all the cusps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Or Maybe Paraorthacodus clarkii? That is probably too big for that though. Check out This site.

sixgill pete Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If it is from the Aquia, I think it is Brachycarcharias lerichei Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can help get an accurate ID To quote a comment on a previous post of mine from the same location "The site has early Eocene, some Potapaco Member but mostly Woodstock Member of the Nanjemoy Formation, an Eocene reworked lag layer, and early Miocene, Fairhaven Formation and early Calvert Formation." So it is a variety mix of eras. I want to preserve the privacy of the location due to request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Do you know which layer it came from? If Eocene, still Brachycarcharias. 2 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Don on Brachycarcharias lerichei . They are abundant in the Nanjemoy Formation. Specimens can have up to 3 cusplets on either side of the crown. Marco sr.
