A fellow brought a very strange fossil by today hoping I could id it, but i'm stumped! Looks kind of like human teeth and the bone base looks kinda fishy or some kind of aquatic creature. It actually reminds me of a Pacu, but really just grasping at straws here. Any ideas?

My guess would be a fossil fish partial jaw. Certain types of fish had blunt teeth for crushing shells.

There's no comb-over so it can't be a trumpasaurus. I'm thinking it's more likely a Chelseamillionairepithicus.

Is that related to the Chelseaskankasaurus ?

Don't be mean to the kiddies, Don. It's been an abiding mystery to me how Chelsea became a multimillionaire. It's not through her rich husband either. I notice she's Vice Chairman of the Clinton Foundation (Aha!) and a link I just found says she "earned" $445 per second for her "job" at NBC. I wonder how much she makes at the Foundation?
Anyhow, that fish reminded me of her, not Trump.

Dont sheepshead have teeth like that? Yep. As Don said, shell crushers. Look very human like, incisors and molars. Sheep's(i.e. sheepshead) teeth similar to human too.

Hey, leave me out of this. You are talking about my ancestors here. The sheepshead came out of the water and mated with the blond monkey and here I am. Minus the hair of course. Jim

Carp are minnows. They only have teeth in their throat.
