New Members sharkysaurus Posted March 21, 2022 New Members Share Posted March 21, 2022 I found this tooth today in Colorado Springs. In the Pierre Shale formation. It looks very shark tooth like. I prepped it out a bit to expose it more. I think it might be Pseudocorax granti ? ... but I'm not sure. Could this be a shark tooth and if so what species? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Looks like a rock to me. Maybe a bit of chert in the middle. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared C Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 nice! If you were in Texas I'd say you found a Squalicorax, but considering it's still in matrix, those weak serrations are suspicious.

ThePhysicist Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'd go for Squalicorax with worn serrations. 1 1 2 Forever a student of Nature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I know that @jpc is familiar with the Pierre Shale. I wonder if he's encountered shark teeth in his hunts? Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 The Pierre Shale (at least in WY) is largely devoid of shark teeth, but if I had found this one, I would call it Squalicorax. Full disclosure,: I am no expert, and I am not familiar with Pseudocorax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
