Rowboater Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hunted along a Rappahannock River beach at low tide, but only found about a dozen small teeth. One was unusual. Rather than the normal recurve of these teeth, one had a pronounced curve. Is this pathological or a tooth from a different part of the mouth or another similar species. Tooth looked healthy except for the lack of recurve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It looks like pathological but it's really hard to confirm with your photo. Better photo needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I agree with @Troodon, the tooth seems pathological indeed. I'd be surprised to hear it's not pathological, because I do not know any species with such a curve... Cool finds anyway!

Rowboater Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Thanks. Most curved tooth of any I have found. Maybe I need to buy a macro lens for my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
