Authentic Brachyrhizodus wichitaensis Fossil Ray Fish Tooth – Upper Cretaceous, Black Creek Formation

This is a genuine Brachyrhizodus wichitaensis fossil ray fish tooth, carefully sourced from the Upper Cretaceous-aged deposits of the Black Creek Formation, found at Neuse River, Wayne County, North Carolina, USA. Dating back approximately 100–66 million years, this fossil represents an extinct species of prehistoric ray fish that once thrived in Cretaceous seas.

Brachyrhizodus wichitaensis was a member of the Rhinobatoidea (guitarfish) family, known for their specialized crushing teeth, which were adapted for feeding on shellfish and crustaceans. These teeth formed interlocking plates, allowing them to efficiently break down the hard shells of their prey.

Geology & Formation:

The Black Creek Formation is a significant Upper Cretaceous marine deposit found in the southeastern United States. It is known for preserving a wide variety of marine fossils, including sharks, bony fish, ammonites, and marine reptiles.

Cretaceous Information

The Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago) was the final era of the Mesozoic, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants. It had a warm, greenhouse climate, with high sea levels that created vast shallow inland seas. Marine life flourished, including mosasaurs, ammonites, and rudist reefs, while the land was ruled by iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus. Mammals and birds diversified, and insects thrived. The period ended with the mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic.
