Hi everyone , Since we’re on lockdown, I’ve been processing the little amount of micro matrix I had and a few interesting things have shown up. I’m mainly on the hunt for teeth but they are rather scarce and most of the matrix is composed of shell fragments. Some of the stuff I’ve been finding is crinoid stars, Bryozoans and fish scales. Most of this stuff is tiny and I actually can't tell what it is until I put it under the microscope. I’d be very grateful if you could ID some of the pieces as well. Here’s some of what I’ve found. I have more pictures but will post tomorrow. Here’s an interesting little tooth which I didn’t really do the best job of repairing but it was very small . Here’s what I thinks a little fish scale. I’m actually not sure what this is Here’s the only detailed complete crinoid star I’ve found so far. . Here is an absolutely tiny fish? tooth. I would say it looks croc but I’m not sure croc could possibly this small. I actually thought it was just a shard of a fish scale until I took a closer look under the microscope. And here are some bryzoans (that’s what I think they’re called). Im sorry about my very limited knowledge of these kinds of fossils. More pictures coming . That little tooth above was the second of the only three teeth I’ve found after a month of hunting. The third was so small that I think if it wasn’t originally adhered to the matrix, then it would have fallen through the sieve mesh.
