Huntlyfossils Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Nice tooth found in Richmond, Queensland of Creataceous age in marine sediments. It has been id as a sharks tooth but is missing the top section. Any more info on this tooth would be great. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pterygotus Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Looks croc or fish. I’d say definitely not shark. It’s a complete crown with a portion of root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Definitely not a shark tooth. Reptile or fish, likely.

-Andy- Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The striations remind me of pliosaur or ichthyosaur. A very nice find Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
