Paleozoic Fossil Hunting at Kohl's Ranch Arizona

Nice Petrodus! You even caught it on camera before catching it with your eyes. They're pretty rare here in Texas

Thank you! I was thrilled to find it

That `holocephalan denticle' looks like one of the smaller morphotypes of Lagarodus specularis . See Lebedev 2008, Acta Geol. Polonica, vol. 58, 199-204, fig. 2.

Thank you for your insight! I had it identified as a denticle based on the foramina present along the sides of the base, with no foramina present on its basal face. Looking at the figure, it does resemble Lagarodus, which can be found in the Naco Formation.

It would be helpful to add a photo of the creatures these teeth belong to.

Thank you for the suggestion!
