New Members bespokemodern Posted September 28, 2021 New Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 Found this while fossil hunting on the Potomac River (mostly miocene marine fauna) in Westmoreland County, Virginia. When I first picked it up I thought it was just a shark tooth with the root missing. When I got home and cleaned up my finds I realized it wasn't shark. It is about 5/8" long, tear drop shape in section, and has striations like a croc tooth, but since it is flat I don't think it is croc. Maybe some type of fish? Any thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Barracuda perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parthicus Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 It does seem to resemble barracuda (Sphyraena sp.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
