masonboro37 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi everyone, I have been going through and organizing all the matrix I have stored in my garage. Slowly washing, drying and sifting trough. My son is getting a kick out of it! He has his own fossil corner now just for him. We started out rinsing Aurora, NC matrix and then moved on to some from Texas. I can not recall where in Texas the matrix came from, my labels had deteriorated. We have been looking through our books and online for identification of the two teeth I posted. If any can help with this, please do. The first tooth is from the Aurora, NC matrix (Miocene/Pliocene). 3mm in length.Texas tooth. About 1mm. Ray tooth? Process of identification "mistakes create wisdom".

ynot Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) The first tooth is a posterior tooth possibly from a Carcharodon sp - Great White shark. (see following posts.) The second piece is a ray dermal denticle (looks like a Shark Tooth Hill piece.). Edited January 28, 2018 by ynot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think the tooth is a chubutensis from the Pungo River Formation. I agree with Tony that the denticle looks like it is from Shark Tooth Hill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 By golly that is the tiniest chub (or any megatooth) I've ever seen! 3mm? That’s gotta be a rare find. Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
