fossilsonwheels Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 This tooth was labeled as Orodus but I wanted to get some other opinions. I see quite a few different Paleozoic tooth morphologies that are called Orodus which can be a little confusing. I am not saying the Orodus ID is incorrect but I see some things that remind me of a Hybodontiformes tooth. Burlington Limestone Biggsville Quarry Biggsville, Illinois The tooth measures 5mm across.

Elasmohunter Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 This does not look like an Orodus sp. tooth to me, as the ridges on the flanks of the central cusp look a little suspect. Rather, I would think a safer bet would be Hybodontiformes indet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
