  1. Largemouth Bass

    Stratford Hall mystery bone

    Found in a block of matrix on the western side of Stratford Hall during a NHSM trip. Length is about 0.75 inches (1.9 cm). Order of photos: Front, side, backside, top-down, underside.

    MARYLAND Represent!

    I just started fossil hunting again and I am looking forward to hitting up the best MD and VA spots! Here is today's hunt!
  3. From the album: Fossils

    A nicely preserved one inch Phyllodus toliapicus crushing tooth plate from the Eocene Nanjemoy Formation of Virginia.
  4. Primate fossils are very rare. I would really like to see what primate fossils TFF members have in their collections or have collected and donated. Mine have been personally collected, and have been donated, and are posted below. Let me start this post with the nicest primate fossil that I’ve seen, to show what is possible to find. A Messel researcher from Germany, to whom I’ve sent thousands of squamate specimens for study, sent me the below Messel book gratis last year. This is a book full of incredibly preserved specimens from plants, to insects, to mammals, to birds, to reptiles, to amphibians, to fish. Some very well-preserved primate fossils are in this Messel book, including an incredible Darwinius masillae articulated specimen shown in the below picture. After showing that incredible Messel primate, my primate specimens, which follow, seem pretty meager, but nevertheless are of scientific value. First, three primate teeth that I found in anthill matrix, from anthills situated on exposures of the Big Cottonwood Creek Member of the Chadron Formation (Latest Eocene-early Oligocene), from my sons’ M&M Ranch in Nebraska are shown in the below picture within a figure, as well as the cover of the publication that they are described in. Because the researchers were not able to assign the teeth to a genus (see the text in the red box in the below picture) I intend to recollect anthill matrix in the same 3 areas where the teeth were found in hope of finding a more complete primate specimen (at least a partial jaw with a premolar, molars) so the species can be identified. Secondly, a partial omomyid primate jaw, which I found in the Eocene, Nanjemoy Formation of Virginia, shown below in a figure from the paper that the partial jaw is described in (see first page of the paper below). Also note the two excerpts below from the paper. Due to the extreme rarity of this specimen, it is extremely unlikely that I could find another specimen that might be positively identified. From the paper Title and Abstract: "First Fossil Primate from the Atlantic Coastal Plain" From the paper DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: "Considering its geographic separation from other known North American, as well as European, omomyids, it almost certainly represents a previously unknown species. However, in the absence of premolars (often the most diagnostic teeth in omomyids) or any other anterior teeth, or obvious derived molar traits, it would be premature to create a new taxon for this fragmentary specimen." I am really hoping for and looking forward to TFF member primate posts to this thread. Marco Sr.
  5. From the album: Fossils

    Two Notorynchus symphyseal teeth from the Miocene Calvert Formation in central Virginia. Both have a funky center tooth and are about .65 inches wide.

    Baleen whale jaw

    Hi all, we found what we believe to be a fossilized baleen whale jaw, while out on an artifact hunt on the Nansemond river, in Carrollton, Va. If anyone has an information for us about what exactly we have found, it would be much appreciated. Very interested in which position of the mouth this would have been, lower, upper? Also, any insight on why we might have found it where we did? It did erode out of a cliff but it we don’t find any other fossils in this formation. Thanks for the help

    Large Colorful Virginia Megalodon

    From the album: Fossils

    This is my largest megalodon. It measures 5.17 inches slant height. I found it on the James River and from it's appearance I believe it is from the Pliocene Yorktown Formation.

    Virginia Miocene Megalodon

    From the album: Fossils

    This 4.5 inch meg was found at a land site in central Virginia along the contact of the Eastover and Calvert Formations. The colors make me think it is likely an Eastover tooth.
  9. Spent about 2 hours surface collecting this morning, tides were not favorable but was still able to find some decent teeth including what I believe is either a partial dolphin or porpoise tooth. I thought that I had found a partial benedini, however it appears that it may just be a large partial curved mako tooth.

    Mystery canine from Virginia

    What appears to be a fossil canine tooth from Virginia, USA. out of a layer that typically produces marine fossils from the late Oligocene-early Miocene. It measures ~2.5” from tip of crown to the base of the root, has some sort of cementum or ossification at the base of the root. The enamel is smooth with the presence of a carina on both cutting edges. As you can see, there is very little wear to the tooth, which makes me wonder if it was a juvenile or is that indicative of the type of prey it ate. I initially thought it had to be a whale/odontocete tooth, but the smooth enamel with the presence of the carina has me second guessing that ID. Could it be from a pinniped? Large cat? Something else? This one has me stumped. Any thoughts are appreciated.
  11. Largemouth Bass

    Little meg or serrated thresher?

    The shape of this tooth is throwing me off a bit. Slant height is 1.5" and it was found in Westmoreland County, VA.
  12. Hi all, Hwlp with id. please:-) The first photo shows what are Hystrivasum locklinii and horridum I believe. They are all from the APAC/Newburn Pit, Sarasota, Florida, collected by E. Dunlop on January 2, 1984. I think the next three scallops are all Chesapecten jeffersonius, but not 100% sure. They were all collected from Rice's Fossil Pit in Hampton, Virginia, in August 1964 by M. Fuldner. All shells are from the Miocene. I hope someone can help me. I never got a response the last time I posted a few years ago about sharks teeth:-( Thanks, Andrew
