Mystery Scraper Fish Dentition


LanceH

Recommended Posts

OK, this is from mid-Cretaceous deposits in North Texas. It appears to be a dentition of a scraper type fish (I guess). I'm aware of the Pycnodont fish whose teeth are very regular. This one the "teeth" are very random and unregular. Any ideas what it is from?

Lance I have to say, that is one h**l of a camera, you just gave your finger prints to the world. What kind do you have?

It's a Canon PowerShot SD1000. Sometimes it takes great pics, sometimes not so much.

Man!! I don't have a clue on that! It does kind of look like a Pycnodont plate, but they seem too irregular. If you find out what it is, let us know.

Nice find. Don't have a clue as to what they are. Like has been said, all mine are much more regular.
