Have Tooth, What Size Fish?

Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, I still have no way to photograph these small specimens.

I think it is a tooth, about 1mm long, not conical like gar tooth, not shark like either, of dark color, with a thin sharp point, with an oddly shaped single remaining root.

Is there any way to ball park estimate the length of the fish?

I am thinking 3-6in ???

Thanks.

Steve.

Hi Steve,

Would probably have to ID the fish before being able to guess on the size.

Are you familiar with ray denticles/barb? If the base is flattish / slight domed that might be it (i.e. kind of like a rose barb). At 1mm it could be a shark denticle too.

Some low budget tricks to take pics of small objects include using a scanner, using super macro mode (some relatively cheap cameras have this feature), or even taking a picture through some sort of lens or loupe (requires a lot of lighting).

Hi, Tony

Yeah, I knew better than to post such a question. But, you really don't know til you ask one time.

I should be able to photograph soon, just waiting on the dealer to get back to me.

Thanks.
