Phoenixflood Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm no expert on Penn teeth, but it looks like you have something there The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Very interesting specimen there, unfortunately I can't offer an ID. Is the tooth flat, or domed? There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kknight Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 It is a little convexed, but not much. I will have to get a picture of the side soon. Amateur Nature Photographer / Fossil Hunter www.naturesstage.com Kevin Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 KKnight.....Ive Id'd a couple of Carb Shark finds on this site, maybe have a scroll through and see if anything stands out as similar... http://www.gla.ac.uk/~gxha14/sharks.html Cheers Steve...

kknight Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 I did not see anything close unfortunately. My TA in collage was very knowledgeable; he was the one that thought it was a new species. If only I could find him again. I kick myself for not following through.

Terry Dactyll Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 You can always do what I do..... google carb shark teeth and various connotations of this, to try and find a paper or someone who has recently studied them.... then google the person and you usually find most universitys or museums the staff may have an 'about me' page, describing their current research, with an email contact..... and you could always ask nicely and forward an image.... its worked for me in the past on other material, and Ive been very kindly sent some wonderful informative scientific papers as a consequnce (for me to look at the pictures) lol....

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Could it be some sort of Poecilodus? See type here: Poecilodus jonesii http://www.rhyniechert.com/sharksteeth3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
