Name |
Ray Dermal Dentitcle (Rare)
|
| |
ref |
SHARK654 |

Fossils from the Red Crag are highly collectable and very sought after, especially nowadays as all the exposures are basically gone due to over-mining and erosion. This is a ray dermal denticle which has the same embryological origin as the teeth in the ray's mouth. These teeth have simply migrated to the skin. A very rare and very interesting specimen. One for the serious collector. |

Hydodant sp (Shark fin spine)

SHARK642 |
| |
This specimen, from the Cretaceous Rocks of Rock A Nore, is a fabulous example of a shark's fin spine, probably a hybodant. The fin spine is a large example and is just missing the very tip of the front and back but this certainly should not detract from this wonderful specimen. The fin spine also has preserved and carefully prepped out its ' barbs'. Collected late last century. |
