D.N.FossilmanLithuania Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Dear Guys, I recently found one plate like tooth in dolomite erratic, probably Late Triassic age. It is 6 mm length and has rough texture that is not typical to chimaeroids. I guess it could be mouth plate of sturgeon (its mouth opens when four plates spread in the sides) but I did not find information about isolated these elements. Some very similar teeth are shown in interent pictures and are dating by Early Jurassic: http://www.darwincountry.org/explore/005818.html?CatAdd=5818&sid= Please help to identify this specific taxon of fishes with the same appearance of teeth, I think it belongs to actinopterygians.

Miocene_Mason Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Kinda hard to see, but assuming it is in fact a tooth ( rather than bone) it is from some sort of durophage. Sorry I can’t help much more than that. Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Looks like a pebble to Me, not seeing a tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 is it flat enough to get a scan of it? You can put it on the scanner and leave the top open to get the scan. It could be a laggy example of what is in your link I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
