The does anyone have a good source for purchasing sands containing micro fossils? We have one Diatomaceous sand here in Oregon that I know of and I'd like to find a source of other types of fossil bearing sands (for the rainy season here). Thanks.

An exciting micro find if you are a total shark nerd
fossilsonwheels posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I starting going through what will be my last round in the ring with the micro fossils from Genundewa. These Middle Devonian fossils from New York have been so much fun and provided many lessons. I have been hunting primitive and elusive shark remains. I have lost or broken a few. There have been no complete teeth but I absolutely had a blast and learned a lot. This evening I found a really nifty articulated group of 3 shark denticles with what appears to be some sort of connective tissue or something. I am certain these denticles are not grouped together via fossilization but rather a natural cluster. It’s tiny but it is a nifty 365 million year old piece of shark. In the first photo it is the largest dot lol I will be getting better pictures next week. I also found another piece that I will be photographing more closely. It is definitely different from the other fossils. My first thought was a small piece of skull but I really don’t know. It is not conodont. It is not a tooth. It is not a denticle. Whatever it is, it is something I have not encountered in this formation. It’s the largest dot in the second picture. The third pic is a nice Omalodus tooth. Not bad way to wrap up this formation. Time to get onto the next location. Not sure yet what is next but I sure did enjoy the many hours spent exploring Devonian sharks and Conodonts.- 6 replies

I was going over some of bits of Permian micro mix from the Neva Formation in Kansas and I found a fossil I had come across in my initial search months ago. I recently looked at a publication on Permian sharks from Russia. I remembered seeing something similar in that publication. It was a monocuspid denticle attributed to Cobelodus and I can not help but wonder if our mystery fossil is chondrichthyes denticle of some sort. Any thoughts ?

Hi everyone, firstly I'll apologize for the poor quality pictures. These Fossil are tiny and it's hard to get a good exposure. These things which are in all the shale I brought back are like rounded objects. They will come out leaving the impression behind. One is 1/8th in and another is about half of that. If any one can help, I'd love to know. On the paper they gave us showing what we can find, there are brachiopods but these seem to all and not the right shape. paper has something called pyilocardia or something like that. Thank you
