I found this tooth (same tooth, two sides) in some phosphate mine slag from the Aurora Fossil Museum. Can you tell what species this is? I don't see anything quite like it on the charts I've consulted. The other pic is from the same slag and is some kind of ray, I believe.

Order Neogastropoda Family Echinofulguridae Echinofulgur helenae (Olsson, 1967) Statigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: APAC Pit Bed 4, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: More variable that E. echinatum, E. helenae is the common Echinofulgur in the lower beds of the Pinecrest. Ranges from tall straight individuals similar to E. echinatum to short stubby forms reminiscent of Tropochasca petiti. A row of spines on the siphonal canal distinguishes it from E. echinatum.-

Order Neogastropoda Family Echinofulguridae Echinofulgur echinatum (Dall, 1890) Statigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: APAC Pit Bed 4, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: This species is much more common in the Florida Pleistocene than the Pliocene. It lacks the row of spines on the siphonal canal which is indicative of E. helenae.-

Order Neogastropoda Family Melongenidae Tropochasca petiti Olsson, 1967 Statigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: SMR Phase 10 Pit, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: Resembles a Echinofulgur but with a more compact body, shorter spire and twisted siphonal canal suggesting Melongenidae. An extinct genera with no modern analog to compare with. -

Hello everyone. I was collecting in an abandoned sand quarry in the Greek island of Kythera. The formation is Tortonian - Zanglean made of various hardness/density sandstone. The upper layer looks like river deposits as it has more round pebbles and its thickness is less than a metre. The main formation exceeds 8m. North of this place (800m) and south of it (1000-1200m) there are confirmed Miocene deposits, terrestrial and river origin. I am clueless with this. 2€ coin = 1inch I thought of mammal tooth but I have no idea of such things. My other thought, it is just a rock..

Hey everyone! This was found in Southern California in Plio-Pleistocene and Pliocene loosely consolidated gravel and was wondering if it was bone? The area it was found in produces a bunch of petrified wood and possibly some Coprolite. What do you think? Thanks in advance!

From the album: Aurora/Lee Creek Mine Micro Matrix
This assemblage came from one cup (about 340 ml) of micro matrix from Aurora Fossil Museum. Oddly, they are generally much larger than most of what I found in the rest of the matrix. They are all from either the Pliocene or Pleistocene. See album description. -
