Very small and Odd Pennsylvanian Crushing Tooth (Missouri)

[Samurai]

Location: Missouri

Age: Pennsylvanian 

Stratigraphy: Iola formation (Raytown Limestone Member) 

 

 

Found this odd tooth today, sadly the tip is slightly broken making it probably difficult to id. My best guess would be a weird form of crusher tooth but that id seems a bit off. What do you guys think? (about 6mm)

Is more of the tip in the rock?  Nice find

 

These teeth are very hard to ID, partially due to how messy the taxonomy currently is.

Reminds me of a Cladodus tooth, or possibly some kinds of Symmorium teeth.

 

There are some good Cladodus teeth for reference here: http://oceansofkansas.com/Paleozoic.html

I would note that Mr. Everhart is not an expert in paleozoic shark teeth (not sure if anyone is really )

Some ID's on that page are incorrect I think.

Thank you, I had come to a similar conclusion after re examination. I think I just had the wrong species on the mind while hunting that day.
