paleozoicfish Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Genshaw formation in Alpena, MI Amazing to have an expert like paleozoicfish on your forum! Looks like a Holocephalan tooth, some sort of rat-fish or something with a similar life-style. Definately a crushing tooth. Iniopterygians are Holocephalans, as are rat-fish (or chaimaeras). Some ptyctodonts also have crushing tooth plates, it is hard to tell with this partial. and thank you for the compliment. cheers, -PzF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placoderms Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I never would have come close on that one,thank you! I googled Holocephalan and boy that is an ugly fish, no wonder you referred to it as a rat fish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
