    Heterodontus

    This tooth was self collected at a personal site close to home. This site produces exceptional micro material. H. elongatus are very uncommon teeth in the Eocene of N.C.

    Echinocyamus parvus

    This tiny echinoid: 6.21 mm by 4.31 mm is extremely large for the species. Most range between 2 and 4 millimeters. The measurements were taken while taking pictures with my digital microscope. They are an uncommon find by most collectors. Seeing them in situ is extremely difficult unless the sediments have been very well weathered. Most I have found are from matrix I collected. The last picture of the 2 is meant to show the size range of these. The smaller one measures 2.68 mm long by 1.74 mm wide; and I have a few even smaller. Reference: Kier, P.M. (1980) The Echinoids of the Middle Eocene Warley Hill Formation, Santee Limestone and Castle Hayne Limestone of North and South Carolina. Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology : Number 39. pg. 34, plate 10 figures 5-10

    Bryozoa; Massive Form

    This is a common find at this particular quarry, this one P. collum has encrusted what appears to be a Chlamys cookei bivalve. After deciding to add this bryozoa, I had to do a lot of research. What I found is that I really knew nothing about bryozoans. I had always believed this to be an encrusting type bryozoa. Well, I found this species is one of the massive type byozoans. It initially encrusts the host, but then it builds layer upon layer, hence making it a massive form.

    Eurhodia rugosa ideali

    This echinoid is about the average size for this sub species. Eurhodia rugosa subspecies ideali was erected by Porter Kier in " The Echinoids of the Middle Eocene Warley Hill Formation, Santee Limestone and Castle Hayne Limestone of North and South Carolina" 1980

    nautilus

    Found while collecting in New Hanover County, N.C. This nautiloid is a occasional find in this quarry.
  6. sixgill pete

    Echinolampas appendiculata

    This echinoid is probably the most commonly found of all the echinoids in the Castle Hayne Formation. On a good trip when no one has collected the area recently, you can find 75 to 100 of them. Most however are in very poor shape, matrix or bryzoan encrusted. This particular specimen is an excellent example of the species. On the small side, it can be almost 3 times as large as this one.

    ric

    This ric has excellent serrations and nearly perfect cusps. Measuring in at 3 5/8 inches with it's feeding damaged tip makes me wonder if it would have hiot that magic 4' mark in it's full glory.
  8. sixgill pete

    irregular echinoid

    Self Collected from the Martin Marietta quarry Castle Hayne, N.C.
  9. sixgill pete

    Eupatagus wilsoni

    Self collected specimen. This echinoid described by Porter Kier in "The Echinoids of the Middle Eocene Warley Hill Formation, Santee Limestone, and Castle Hayne Limestone of North and South Carolina", 1980 as a new species. Extremely rare. * I have edited this post, as I realized I had inadvertently put up incorrect pictures. The pictures I had put up were of an echinoid that is also a Eupatagus species, but not E. wilsoni.

    heart urchin

    Self Collected. This a an exceptionally clean specimen for this species.
  11. I was lucky enough to be invited on a hunt to a southeastern North Carolina quarry for yesterday. This quarry contains exposures of the Eocene Castle Hayne formation and the Cretaceous PeeDee formation. The quarry had not been hunted at all since late April / early may, so with all of the rain we have had over the summer and from the recent Hurricane, I wa pumped to get in there. It was a small group of people, only 8 of us, but all experienced quarry hunters. After arriving and filling out all the necessary paperwork we headed to the first area around 8:30. This area was a small section in an old part of the quarry that contained a small but very good section of Eocene material. We decided to stay there until 11 and then move to another area. Well the finds here were awesome. Several very rare varieties of echinoids were found by several of us along with the usual common ones. Bivalves, gastropod molds and brachiopods were also found. There were also a few nice nautaloids found. But, no teeth. However with the amount and variety of other things that was fine with all of us. No one left to head to the second area unhappy. We arrives at the second area around 11:30 and headed straight to an exposure of PeeDee sand. For those of you who remember the posts a few years ago about the "Big Hole" by FossilFoilist, this is the exact same type of exposure. Echinoids and oysters galore. Many of us left from there and continued hunting Cretaceous piles, while others went in search of Eocene material. It was really a fantastic day. One of my best ever at this quarry, and I'm sure a few of the others also. Some of the items found ( sorry I dont have pictures of the others finds) were, Eocene echinoids ...... Echinolampas appendiculatta, Rhyncholampas carolinensis, rare Eupatagus wilsoni, rare Linthia hanoverensis, rare Agassizia inflata, very uncommon Maretia subrostrata, uncommon Linthia wilmingtonensis, Eurhodia rugosa ideali and depressa and a very nice Coelopleurus carolinensis. On the Cretaceous side I would guess there were over 100 Hardouinia mortonis found along with over 30 of the rare Hardouinia kellumi also. There were also a few Hardouinia mortonis emmonsi found, this is a subspecies of the H. mortonis with a higher dome, looks more conical. But the truly best finds of the day were 3 complete and one partial Phymotaxis tournoueri with attached spines. There was also an amazing Enchodus ferox tooth found, it was over 3" and an amazing and extra large Squalicorax pristodontus. lso C. auriculatus but none in great shape. All of my cleaned finds finds on my drying table.

    nautilus

    Self collected at the Martin Marietta Quarry in Onslow County N.C. A surprise find at the very end of the day. And it even has its own display pedestal. This nautilus was invertebrate fossil of the month 05/2016
