I starting photographing some of the micro shark remains we’ve found in our matrix searches. I’m taking a break from fossils for awhile and from TFF so I wanted to get some of these posted. The ID’s are educated guesses based on publications I’ve read. I’m open to other suggestions. This originally started as a way to add some Devonian shark material but has really been a fantastic learning experience too. We’ve added some fossils to the collection for sure and some hard to find early shark genera. The knowledge gained is the big thing and it has been super fun. Few complete teeth and difficult to photograph with the equipment I have access to but you should get the general idea. We will start with the oldest first. Genundewa Limestone Devonian (Givetian) Eighteen Mile Creek Erie County Eden New York Phoebodus sp. Partial teeth are common in this matrix. We’ve found quite a few. This is small selection. Hard to photograph. This will be a fun shark to talk about. Very strange and similar to a modern Frilled Shark.
