Found these in a sandy area in Central Mississippi, USA.

I'm thinking petrified wood but maybe something else? Found in sandy area in central Mississippi.

Hello everyone, I was wondering what the Maximum size for a late Cretaceous Cretalamna was? I have this tooth from Mississippi which clocks in at 1 29/32” (with root chipping), and can’t find much information as to the largest size that the genus reached in the Cretaceous.

I’ve been working on getting all of our shark teeth properly identified so I went back to a few teeth from the Demopolis Formation. These are from the Frankstown location in Mississippi. The first one up is right around 1” and the little cusps are what initially confused me. Is this a Cretoxyrhina perhaps? I found some images of Cretoxyrhina with cusps that looked similar.

We got a lot of 20 shark teeth from the Demopolis Formation, Frankstown location I believe. I basically separated them by those I think are Goblin teeth and those that I think are not lol Pic 1 I believe these are Scapanorhynchus teeth. Pic 2 and 3. My best guess on this one is Paranomotodon. I am very unsure of that ID.

Dr. Feldmann has just verified this specimen as Cretacoranin testacea. Quote "It is not a lobster, it is a raninid crab, Cretacoranin testacea. I am attaching a paper in which it is illustrated. It is really a very nice specimen." I will include the paper as soon as I can figure out how to upload it without exceeding my posting limit(?). I would like to thank all the TFF members who participated in making this identification possible. I hope the below photos will help anyone else who may have a specimen in need of identification.

I hope I am posting in the right topic...you know I am blond..lol and old...lol I picked this up in MS years ago on a rock hunt central MS maybe Big Black River close to Natchez. I was always wondering what kind of wood and just how it seemed was cut with something sharp before it petrified. I am interested in your thoughts on this piece. Thank you all so much!! Your great at helping us amateurs!! Brought more inside and cleaning to show later. Deb

This scapula fragment was found along a Mississippi creek. It was found in close proximity to a well mineralized deer jaw. The cup portion of the scapula measures about two inches. Does anyone know what animal this may of came from? I believe it's from the pleistocene epoch.

Hi everyone! I just researched and planned my very first hunt ever tonight. I'm from Minnesota, but am currently living in Mississippi for work. It took some time to find the information needed in order to pick a few possible locations without driving five or more hours. Here's what I've come up with for my trip plan. All of this will be river/stream sifting, or outcroppings from the rivers/streams. All three are options, but Merrill, MS is likely my first trip due to the fact two rivers from the North converge there possibly depositing older Cretaceous fossils as well. -Waynesboro, MS (2hr) Chickasawhay River — Catahoula Formation — Oligocene — 23my - 34.9my -Merrill, MS (1.25hr) Pascagoula River — Pascagoula and Hattiesburg Formation — Miocene — 5.3my - 22.3my -McLain, MS (1.25hr) Leaf River — Pascagoula and Hattiesburg Formation — Miocene — 5.3my - 22.3my Potential Recoveries Expected: Shark/Fish Teeth Shell Fragments Inverts Snake Vertebra Echinoids Others washed downstream from Cretaceous period Thanks for reading! -C

found in a hill area of central MS in a field, sorry I can not remember county or city... when searching with MS Gem & Mineral club, we are talking about about 5 hours from coast area. I do know it is an oyster but was wondering if anyone had any idea the possible time frame of age.

The shark teeth shown in the pics were recently found at the WM Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park in Frankstown, MS. They appear to be different than some of the more common teeth found there (i.e. goblin shark). In the publication that was produced for the park, the closet match appears to be Otodus appendiculatus, but I am not finding exact matches online. Of the four teeth, 1 (more triangle) and 4 (recurved, more pointed cuspids) stand out. Any thoughts?

Any sites in NE Mississippi or NW Alabama. Preferably Cretaceous or Carboniferous. Thanks.
