rod Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I am very confused on this point.... I have been collecting at the 20 Mile Creek, Frankstown Site in North Mississippi. An identification book from the state of Mississippi for this site lists a particular fossil tooth as Anamoeodus latidens and notes it as a ray. Now, the only mention of this particular species (that I have been able to find) is on one website for selling fossils found at the site which we are collecting. I searched the Genus Anamoeodus and find it as a Pycnodontiforme (pycnodont), a fish. So, is this a fish or ray? I previously posted a pic on the forum and the consensus was pycnodont teeth. That is what brings up this point. - ROD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hello Rod. The pycnodonts are fish, not rays. See here: http://www.oceansofkansas.com/Pycnodont.html Hope this helps.
