    Baleen whale rib and mandible sections, Yorktown formation, North Carolina, U.S.A., 2021

    From the album: Lando’s Fossil Collection

    Collected from Pliocene Yorktown formation of Greens Mill Run, Greenville, NC.

    A while back I collected several pieces of sizeable whale bone from Greens Mill Run and was able to ID them as to specific skeletal element (several were ribs, verts, mandibles, etc.). However, this one piece is fairly sizeable and has a distinct shape (it is worn down some), pretty sure it’s part of a skull, but can’t figure it out. Any whale experts out there think they might can help? It’s from the Yorktown formation, and even though Greens Mill Run cuts through other formations, this one came from a section of the creek with Pliocene exposures and the other whale bones I was able to ID, so pretty sure it’s a Pliocene baleen whale.

    Need help with fossil ID

    Mulemauler posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Just picked this up for my granddaughter from an online estate auction. No idea where or when it was found so no help there. Hoping that someone here can identify it.

    Hi Guys, I need your help, I was sifting for Shark teeth in Glades County, FL. And came across this specimen buried in sand/under water. I need first and foremost help on its preservation. Also if you guys could identify it would be great. Looks like a shoulder blade of a quadruped but I’m lost on what exactly it is and how old it might be. Thank you,

    Hello again to all of you guys , I´m in a huge need oh help to ID some mollusks of south central Chile. Currently these are storaged in the vault of a local university. I know taht the fossils in the images are not in the best conditions, but the outcrop itself sadly has been seriously reworked by a bulldozer machinery (they may be a little bit flattened). At least to a family or genus level ID should be nice considering how they actually are. The beds should be of the Miocene to Pliocene. But also theres a very minor chance of being from the middle to upper Eocene. The larger axis of each cabinet is around the size of a fist. Here the photos: Thanks again and greetings from Chile!!!

    Fish vert and fish tooth

    Shellseeker posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Finds from a week ago. I am used to finding Sawfish verts more often than Shark verts. This may be a Shark vert. If so, type of shark? Interesting and isolated damage. Here is a view after drying: Size Diameter 34 x 17 mm max/min, and 28 mm height A 2nd find: I immediately thought Drumfish, because I know of not other fish that has similar teeth ? Is it?

    Hi, I recenty acquired a bulk of shark teeth found on the beaches of Cadzand, The Netherlands. I think there are around 200 - 300 shark, ray and fish teeth in the bag ranging in age from the Eocene up to the Plio/Pleistocene. A large chunk of the teeth are common species like C. hastalis, Brachycarcharias lerichei & Striatolamia macrota teeth. But there are a few I am not sure about and some I don't even a clue about, so I was hoping some people here might help me out confirm my ID. Thank you in advance! All the ray teeth in the bunch Most of the cowshark teeth in the bunch, I think all of these might be Notorynchus primigenius from the miocene & pliocene Tooth 1: 3 teeth which I believe these are upper jaw teeth of Notorynchus primigenius Tooth 2: A cowshark that looks a little different than the rest, might this be a Hexanchus griseus tooth? (Miocene/Pliocene) Tooth 3: The largest tooth of the bunch, due to it's size I am not really sure to which species it might belong, although I believe it might be a large Sand Tiger tooth. Is it an Araloselachus vorax or do Striatolamia macrota & Isurolamna affinis get this big? Tooth 4: a small tooth with large cusps, only one like it in the bunch, the preservation typical of the eocene teeth from this location so I am guessing it is Eocene in age. But I don't really have a clue for the ID Tooth 5: Galeocerdo sp? Physogaleus secundus? Galeorhinus sp? Tooth 6: I am leaning towards either Anomotodon novus or Sylvestrilamia teretidens Tooth 7: Galeocerdo sp. or Physogaleus secundus Tooth 8: Odontaspis winkleri Tooth 9: worn Physogaleus secundus Tooth 10: Physogaleus secundus? Galeorhinus sp? Tooth 11: Abdounia recticona Tooth 12: Brachycarcharias lerichei Tooth 13: Physogaleus secundus or an Abdounia sp? Tooth 14: Physogaleus secundus? Galeorhinus sp? Tooth 15: I am pretty convinced this is an Eotrigonodon serratus tooth

    Mystery Specimen ID

    T Stolberger posted a topic in Fossil ID

    I found a fossil fragment on site the other day unlike anything I have ever come across before. Some ideas that have been suggested by colleagues include a bone fragment, petrified wood, or a bryozoan colony. The fragment is approximately 2.5 cm long and half a cm wide, is Pliocene in age, and comes from the Kaawa Formation for anyone who knows their New Zealand stratigraphy well. Im not looking for an ID as such, more just a general indication of what I'm dealing with from anyone else who has come across something similar. Many thanks!

    Large mammal Astragalus

    Shellseeker posted a topic in Fossil ID

    A couple of months back, I was pushing to hunt the Peace River before the summer rains closed me out. This was every other day leaving no time to sort, photo finds from previous days. Well, the Peace River is FULL of water and I am finding time to return to interesting finds. Here is a photo of finds from early June. On this day, I also found a seal tooth, posted for ID on TFF; Additionally I posted a couple of hours earbones and a small Botryoidal Chalcedony sample from lower left. This is an interesting location.... Note the almost complete Dugong vertebra and the chunk of ray mouthpalte... both unusual for the Peace River , mostly fragments. and so, I am BACK for a third bite at the apple. What is that fossil directly below the Dugong? Let me provide some photos and measurements: 65 mm x 48 mm x 41 mm.... so a 2 plus inch rectangle. I waited before posting today, because I felt it was an astragalus and could not think of a mammal that would have one this large...and then I thought of a mammal that had a much larger one.. It is not the same, but the fossil on the left is a Teleoceras Proterum Astragalus that I found in the Peace River 10 years ago !!! Long time between drinks. Enjoy the ride.

    Made a recent trip to Greens Mill Run and got quite a few nice fossils, particularly fossil bone. Large fragment of a Pliocene baleen whale lower jaw bone, whale rib fragment, baleen whale tympanic bullas, unfused whale vertebral epiphysis, Chesapectens jeffersonius, other Chesapectens spp., clams, etc. All collected in-situ, all from the Yorktown formation. Also quite a few sharks teeth collected from gravel bars. Also one pic, the one with the belemnites lined across the top, is all in-situ Cretaceous stuff. Great trip, digging the stuff up was a nice change from all the gravel sifting haha

    Hi just recieved this tooth from Indonesia, really can't work out what its from does anyone know? wolf? cat? other? Thanks so much
  13. NevadaHunter
    Hi all, I have this slab that is composed of a mix of sandstone and clay matrix. One side is more heavily composed of sandstone while the other half is more clay. In the sandstone side is a well preserved mandible from Aepycamelus sp. seen from the lateral aspect. It was crushed along the sagittal plane allowing us to see the medial, lingual aspect of the other side of the mandible from behind. Because the mandible is crushed, I feel this piece would be best suited at a slab specimen, if you guys have any opinion please share. Now, the clay rich side appears to not have preserved as well but there is an intact scapula that was already cracked badly and after jacketing and transport, the pieces shifted a bit. How best should I address this? I was thinking using paranoid B-72 but was hoping if any of the masters here have any insight or advice.
