the final results of our first two Paleozoic micro shark hunts
fossilsonwheels posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
We started working on two early forays into micro fossils over a year ago when we cracked open the vile of Permian matrix from Kansas. Those tiny Neva Formation formation fossils and the even older and smaller Genundewa Limestone fossils proved to be extremely challenging, sometimes very frustrating and all kinds of fun. The results were few shark fossils that made it from matrix to the safety of the display cases lol There were several lost or broken shark teeth and one pulverized to dust by a millimeter worth of thumb slippage. If we judged this by volume, one could say this was- 4 replies

From the album: D/C Boundary Sharks
I think this Cladodont tooth does belong to Cladodoides. I am not 100% on that ID but still a nice early Cladodont tooth. Classified as Ctenacanthiformes.-

Found this guy whilst walking to the mailbox. Probably the most exciting random and unexpected find I've had to date. I turned over a flake of limestone that had separated from a larger section lining my driveway and there it was. It's roughly 1 cm by 1 cm. Here it is after some light roughing out. #1 #2 I am very happy the right side cusplet survived! #3 Interesting - unsure what this is and if I should spend the time trying to expose it further. #4 Specimen as it is now. Still needs a lot more work.

I knew it was going to snow today, so I thought that I would go out yesterday to a Pennsylvanian roadcut that has matrix from the Bond Formation exposed near Oglesby, Illinois. I did not spend much time there, put it was nice to be out. The area still has a lot of snow cover because it sits in the shade most of the day and there will even have more since we are getting 2-3”. Besides some brachiopods that I found, I also found this Cladodont Tooth that was on the bottom of a piece that I picked up. Though not complete, I still like it. Thanks to @deutscheben and @Peat Burns for the

My son and I are doing our first Shark Adaptation classroom education program in March. We are using fossils from across the timeline of sharks to explain to the students how sharks have managed to stick around this planet for some 430 or so million years. I am very proud of the relatively small fossil shark collection we have. The kids will get to see and in a lot of cases handle some fossils from badass sharks. I thought it would be fun to put some of that collection and bits of the information we present. Eventually I will include the art work my son is producing. He is 5 months away from g
