Delphinodon dividium and others; my work in the New Jersey Kirkwood (Paleocene-Miocene)
frankh8147 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello everyone! This trip report represents over a year and half of work (intermittent between my trips to the New Jersey Cretaceous) at a Kirkwood formation spot in New Jersey. I was happy to be invited by a few friends and had a great time digging outside of my normal streams! As you can probably tell from the title, I'm really highlighting one particular specimen - the Delphinodon dividium tooth. From all the research we have done; it appears to be the first appearance of this from New Jersey and the Northernmost occurrence in the eastern USA. I did have this looked at by professionals, and agree with the identifications. I also found a partial Squalodon tooth, a really nice and rare boxfish tooth, and a Galeocerdo Eaglesomi. I really like the Makos' too because they are both over 2 inches and are bigger than any I've ever found at Calvert (although I really haven't spent enough time there). Anyway, here are my finds (in order of mention).- 20 replies

Hi everyone! I recently acquired some dolphin & shark teeth, but they weren't ID'd so I was wondering if some of you might be able to help me out if possible. The first are a set of small dolphin teeth found in Hoevenen, Antwerp in Belgium (Miocene, 15 - 10 mya) And I was wondering if they could be ID'd to down to genus? I've read Eurhinodelphis is a common find and that there are quite a few more named and unnamed species to be found there. The other fossils that I hoped to be ID'd are 5 tiny shark teeth from Oosterzele (Lede formation), Belgium (Eocenen, Lutetian, approx. 44 million years old) I've searched this website as they has a database with I believe all the species found there, but I am not confident and skilled enough to ID them properly. http://users.skynet.be/belgiansharkteeth/Lede formation/Oosterzele set.html My best guesses are that the first 3 teeth belong to the same species and the most common at Oosterzele, which are worn down Otodus auriculatus teeth. As for the other teeth I don't really know, so I really would appreciate some help and input. Thanks in advance!

Went out to hunt for sharkteeth today but due to the poor weather and trafic I lost a lot of time, so hardly any finds... Since I’m new to the forum I think however it would be nice to post a recent find. This is a piece of jawebone from a delphinodon dividum... it might be the only piece like this ever to be found in Antwerp. So pretty rare Kind regards Charlotte
