Foshunter Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Hey guy, nice find. The broken shark tooth is actually a broken fang like tooth the Protoshyraena posses that usually break off like the ones shown. I don't understand what their function might be, maybe someone on the Forum can shed a little light on them--Tom Grow Old Kicking And Screaming !!"Don't Tread On Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasFossilHunter Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Are you sure? I have a number of proto. Teeth, and this looks much more shark-like. Also, it's kind a weird place for a proto tooth, more likely that it's a scavenger tooth.... Anyone else have ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vordigern Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Im volunteering at a dig with Drexel University and the Academy of Natural Science . We are digging in the Late Cretaceous and on Tuesday the 26th I found my first croc claw ever and it also happened to be the first croc claw ever found at that site and possibly the first Croc claw to ever go into the Academys collection though they admitted they werent 100% positive of that last. Its aprox 1 3/4" long though in my excitement I forgot to get the exact measurements from the grad student who recorded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeloiVarden Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Here is my last second entry. I never imagined I would ever see one of these entered in Fossil of the Month, but if an ear bone could win this one has a chance. Certainly mixes things up anyway.
