Hi together,

has anyone an idea about the tooth on the picture. Size is around 8 mm. It's from the german Trias, Muschelkalk, Würzburg Germany. It looks like Hybodus or Acrodus. I did not find anyone like this in books about the Muschelkalk.
Thanks much for any hints.

Greetings,
Harry

Here the pic

I'm no shark tooth expert, but regardless, determining the species will be very hard when it's still incased to such a degree in the matrix.

Can you crop the picture? It's no use showing all that matrix. Use photoshop for instance to "cut away" the unnecessary parts. Also, could you describe what you see e.g. ornamentation, dimensions, pores, etc. ... It gives me the impression of being something Acrodus like though.

Hi Harry,

The tooth you are showin is a Lyssodus.

Here some other teeth from the German Triassic Epoche.All from the same quarry in
Rüdersdorf near Berlin.

Hi Age,

Nice to hear from you!
Wow great, thanks for that hint! Exactly like your pic my tooth looks under the microscope. So I have a new species in my collection
Do you have more from Muschelkalk? May be we can trade something. Let's mail.

Greetings,
Harry
