    Squalicorax Tooth?

    This tooth is a little over 1" long. I found it in a creek in south Montgomery County, AL.

    Thanks for looking!

            Did someone tell you it was Squalicorax?
            If so they were right.

            Squalicorax Pristodontus
            The largest of the Squalicorax
            These are found in the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian-Maestrichtian)
            Which would make it ~75-80 myo.

            FYI: It helps having something of known size for comparison.

            It is a "Rock" when it's on the ground.
            It is a "Specimen" when picked up and taken home.

              You are welcome.
              We find this species and others here in N.Texas.
              Try taking the photo with specimen in hand "outside".

              You are in an area that can produce many different species of Shark/Rays.
              Watch for bone material as well.
              If you are finding the Squali's the other stuff is there too.
