Ramo Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Here are some photos from a Greenhorn Limestone formation roadcut I stopped at today. (I had my camera, and love looking at insitu photos, so I thought I'd make some myself) The last one is of my entire haul.

jax Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Nice finds!! Those teeth are good size too! I only of those that size. I have wanting to hunt Kansas for a while. Seeing the Oceans of Kansas page sealed it for me. Have you found any associated teeth before? I see the Ptychodus mouth plates and start drooling. Id like to add one to my collection. jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 This is the biggest bunch of Ptychodus teeth I have. I have removed them from the matrix, and have them arranged in a GIANT tooth plate, about the size of a silver dollar! I have found some large ones, but only singles.

The layer I find the Ptychodus in (Kamp Ranch, in the Eagle Ford Form) all the big ones I come across were broken many years ago. I have a piece of one that would have been bigger than a golf ball. Rumor has it that the location I was hunting, someone found one that big. I never got to see it. Its funny cause you really never see pictures of huge ones either. This is what I want to find:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
