Petalodus bones? Mississippian shark pieces


Crinoids

Recommended Posts

Hello I am out for work and have had time to get a lot of rock hunting in. I found 2 petalodus teeth today and this weird grayish tube rock near by, could this be the bones to it?

I don't see any bone material in the first 4 images. The 5th picture does reassemble a Petalodont tooth, but the picture is kind of blurry, and the piece is dirty. Could you add a clearer, cleaner image? The 6th also looks like it's a tooth of some kind, but further cleaning would probably be needed for ID.

Thanks for the feedback I figured they were something with the netted texture. I haven't had time to clean the tooth out of the matrix yet
