Further review shows the area where I live more of a Mississippian and Devonian period of sediment I honestly do not believe 30 years ago someone would just randomly dump shark teeth in a random spot in the middle of literally nowhere (still no houses, or roads in this area only can get there by ATV ) and I would happen to find them
- Ash Grove Quarry, Midlothian Texas Sharks Teeth Trip
With only a few hours for us to hunt I mostly found shark teeth that day, only one good Ptychodus and I walked by one that EPIK found in an Austin Chalk boulder I saw a lot of pretty scales fish skin preserved here My best find IMO was this Squalicorax f anterior, nothing crazy In-situ^ EPIK with his Ptychodus mortoni find:
- A fossilized shark tooth more than 40 million years old
Definitely not a shark tooth as it shares no characteristics of actual fossilized shark teeth Likely a geologic specimen of silificied mineral veining infilling cracks in a sedimentary material I'm not seeing the texture in the silicified areas that might indicate it is the enameled layers of a proboscidean tooth--and the shape doesn't seem

- What was a bourlettes purpose? - The Fossil Forum
I know the bourlette on a shark tooth is the chevron shaped material between the enamel and the root, but what was it actually? Clearly it is not root or enamel, but did it serve a specific purpose? Was it structural? An attachment point for a ligament? A conduit for nutrients into the tooth?
- Shark Vert Vs Fish Vert - Questions Answers - The Fossil Forum
Shark vertebrae tend to be preserved as just the centrum (the hockey puck-like disk) with two openings on top and two on the bottom where the hemal and neural arches were attached The arches were cartilaginous in life and disintegrate quickly after death
