As the teeth are transported by the water they are worn down and their edges become smoothed out. If you look closely at the tooth on the right, you’ll notice that it has faint serrations that have been worn down. The tooth on the left has completely lost the enamel that c…[Read more]

6 years, 3 months ago6 years, 3 months agoThanks for joining us Maureen! I’m very excited to have you with us and that you’ll be able to collaborate with @denise-porcello! I know she has begun to go through MA science standards to prepare for our adventures! It might be fun to incorporate your art background into your lesson and have your students draw the biota from the GABI!

Hi Steph,

6 years, 8 months ago6 years, 8 months ago@denise-porcello, @vperez The orthocone looks a lot like Moroccan material. I would Google the IDs that Victor has given you and do an image search. If you see specimens that look like yours you may then be able to find out what they are and where they came from.
