Hi y'all, I found this neat mammal molar from the Aguja yesterday. My best guess is a Eutherian or Metatherian upper molar. @jpc@Troodon

Hey everybody! I wanted to make a thread sharing with you some of the smaller fossils in my collection, many of which I've photographed using my digital microscope. Some of these I've found in the field at microsites or channel deposits, while others I've found at home searching through matrix. I hope you enjoy! Our journey begins in Wyoming's Lance formation: A Pectinodon tooth my dad found in 2017. A tooth that was identified by other forum members as potentially Avisaurus, also found in 2017. A tooth I initially called Paronychodon, although the small & worn denticles may suggest otherwise. Found in 2020. A tooth which was once the smallest in my collection at around 3 mm., potentially Acheroraptor but currently is indeterminate. Found in 2020. Probably my smallest crocodilian osteoderm in good shape, found in 2019. A tiny dermal denticle, potentially from Myledaphus. Found in 2020. The smallest mammal tooth in my collection, an itty bitty multituberculate I found at home working on conglomerate matrix in 2019. A nodosaur tooth (Denversaurus) found in 2020. A collection of small fish mouth plates (cf. Cyclurus) from 2020. A salamander premaxilla (cf. Scapherpeton) found in 2020. A Thescelosaurus premax tooth from 2020. A view of some of the Lance fm. anthill matrix I brought home to search, with a piece of fish mouth plate in the center

While my prime focus is essentially learning how to accurately describe Nature in the precise language of mathematics, I've always been intrigued by natural history - it's actually what started me on the path to physics. The sort of interrogation that paleontology practices provoked me to think and question even further, down to the fundamental science which makes it all work. Collecting fossils has brought a large amount of enjoyment to my life, and is often a welcome distraction from what can sometimes be straining work. The knowledge that I accumulate along the way is also part of the fun. Here is my collection, which will always be a work-in-progress. There's still many things I haven't photographed yet, but I feel comfortable saying this is the majority. I don't have many big things, but I'm certainly pleased with the many small things I have so far. Links to albums: Dinosaurs Sharks North Sulphur River Post Oak Creek Permian Aguja Formation Harding Sandstone Devonian Galveston Fossils Miscellaneous Highlights / Personal Favorites: The ones underlined are linked to their respective fossil page in the Fossil Forum Collections, which has more information and photos. Infant Tyrannosaurus rex posterior tooth If I could keep only one fossil, it would be this one. It's from my favorite animal that has ever lived, and being from a young'un is just so darn cool. A true crowning jewel in my eyes. Juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex maxillary tooth Again, you can't go wrong with T. rex. It doesn't have the best preservation but regardless, there's a lot more to love. Tylosaurus proriger tooth (self-found) Undoubtedly my favorite find to-date. Finding fossils yourself adds that extra value to its place in your collection. I'll remember the moment I first saw it for a long time. Triceratops prorsus tooth Triceratops is another one of my favorite dinosaurs, I think we all grew up playing with toys of T. rex and Triceratops. Unique circumstances also allow for me to say it's Triceratops and not Torosaurus with some confidence. It's not perfect, but still a significant part of the collection. Avisaurus archibaldi tooth A bird tooth? Doesn't get much cooler or more uncommon. Dimetrodon cf. limbatus tooth I've always been drawn to "icons of life," since those are the ones we remember from childhood. Dimetrodon is definitely an icon, and I'm glad to have found one of these uncommon treasures (in micromatrix - it was a very nice surprise). Cretoxyrhina mantelli tooth One of my favorite shark species, the "ginsu" had sleek-looking teeth, ate mosasaurs and dinosaurs, and was overall a formidable animal worthy of admiration. Cretodus crassidens tooth (self-found) Another one of my favorite sharks. It's not big or complete, but the preservation is so rare for the locality (POC) - the gloss on the enamel is as if it fell out of the shark's mouth yesterday. Saurornitholestes langstoni tooth I'm currently working on growing the dinosaur component of my collection, and this is my first Dromaeosaurid. Dromaeosaur tooth (Hell Creek Fm.) My most recent addition (as of Sept. 4, 2021), and it's my best dinosaur tooth for sure. Unfortunately it will be labeled as only a Dromaeosaurid tooth for now, but it still is just a great tooth from a cool family of dinosaurs. Shark Tooth Riker Display I've got one riker that I've tried to squeeze as many teeth into as possible. I need to get a couple more, probably; there's a lot of teeth that deserve a riker, but are just lying around. I'll try to update this thread semi-regularly as I make acquisitions in the future.

Hi y'all! I recently got some more Aguja Formation Matrix and have had a great time looking for the little stuff - even found my first dino tooth! But of course, there is quite a variety of things that I can't ID and would be greatly appreciative of your help! 1. This first thing is my favorite! I don't know if it's a fish tooth or a denticle or what, but it's so cool looking!! Aprox 2mm 2. I THINK this is a croc tooth? I did a little poking around trying to ID the above and this one and stumbled upon Champosaur as a possibility perhaps? 4 mm 3. Is this part of a Croc Scute? It looks remarkably like the amphibian skull structures I'd found in the Permian micro matrix, which makes me think it might be Croc.... Size 6mm 4. What the heck is this? Denticle? It's obviously bone, but almost like a scale? Size: 8 mm Back 5. Fish Tooth? Size 4mm 6. Also fish tooth? Size 4 mm Top view

Sawfish oral teeth, much smaller than ones I usually find in the Eagle Ford. These are maybe 2 mm in width. -

Right now you'll be seeing a lot more posts from me as I'm making a concerted effort to get some of my fossils ID'd which I've been slacking on for a couple months (between, college, work et.). Anyway, here's a cool little tooth I found searching through some Texan Aguja formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian) matrix I got from PaleoTex. It was found with its roots still attached but unfortunately they've since broken off, however I've kept them in the same container so I don't lose track of them when I eventually try to reattach them. I'm confident it's a mammal tooth, and I think it's from a multituberculate. I'd be interested in reading some opinions on it and if it's possible to narrow down any ID, whether that be to order, family or genus level. It's about 2.5 mm in length and 2 mm in width.

Fresh out of the Aguja, found this crocodilian tooth. I know Deinosuchus is present in the formation; I thought it could be based on the strong striations and stoutness? Or can it only be called Eusuchia? It's about 5 mm in length: Thanks!
