My wife and I made our way down to North Carolina for the Aurora Fossil Museum's Fossil Festival last weekend. Overall it was a pretty productive trip and we came away with well over 1000 shark teeth, some nice shells, lots of ray teeth, some shark, fish and cetacean verts, small cetacean teeth and a bucket of coral pieces. We heard many of the regulars say that the tailings weren't as productive as other years, but I saw quite a few nice specimens being collected. A few of the larger teeth, most of ours were damaged, but some of the colors are great: Lots of s

Last weekend I went on a camping trip to Westmoreland State Park in Virginia, somewhere I had fossil hunted previously and found some cool bones like a dolphin vert. This time, I found several bones that I believe might be able to be identified. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks! All of the finds: A piece of whale bone, id'd through size: Rey Teeth: Continued in the next post due to upload issues

I would like some help identifying these various marine fossils from Calvert Cliffs, MD. Thanks!
Ordivician19 posted a topic in Fossil ID
A couple of weeks ago, I went to Calvert Cliffs, MD to comb the beach for shark teeth, and came across these: A lot of them are missing their tops, which may make ID more difficult. Also, I’m not sure if 7 is even a tooth or just conveniently shaped. I’m fairly confident that 9 is a thresher shark, and think that 1-3 are maybe lemon sharks, but otherwise I’m lost. I’m particularly interested in (what I believe is) the vertebra and the sting ray mouth plate (13 and 14, respectively). I tried to get better supplemental photos, though fossil size and camera quality were a- 3 replies

Hello! Help please to identify this tooth. In my opinioin it is not Dasyatis, but I dont know which Genus it is... Radius ~ 1 mm. Middle Miocene. Western Ukraine. Thanks in advance!

Hi all. I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything on the forum, but now that I'm back from college I'm planning on being more active. Today I wanted to post this odd fossil I found this past summer at a Hell Creek formation microsite in eastern Montana. I've never seen anything quite like it before, but my guess is that it's some odd denticle from a cartilaginous fish of some variety OR alternatively it could just be an odd fish tooth (maybe pharyngeal?). It measures about 4 mm from base to tip and a little bit over 1 mm at its widest. Any input would be appreciated. -Noel

The top two are ray dermal scutes, they are like scales embedded in the skin of the ray. Ignore the bottom two. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
These are fragments of stingray tail spines, usually assigned to the genus Dasyatis. -

Another tooth of a ray from the family Myliobatidae. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
This is a lateral tooth from the ray genus Rhinoptera. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
These ray teeth are often assigned to the genus Myliobatis but other authors dispute this designation. They are certainly some ember of the family Myliobatidae. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
These ray teeth are best identified by there profile shape. -
From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene
These ray teeth fit together to form a broad, flat crushing dental plate. The lowers have a distinctive V shape and the uppers have rounded, slightly swept back ends. -

Stingray teeth that are most commonly assigned to the genus Dasyatis. -
Well, I know I said my last post on these tiny fossils would be my last, but I was wrong. Everyone was very helpful with the previous questions (as usual) so I'm back with a couple more tiny teeth out of the Gainesville Creek matrix that is generally Miocene aged Hawthorn Fm. All of these are pretty small, most just a few mm's across.

Took the relatively short trip down to Purse State Park last weekend and had quite a bit of success! Best find was certainly a fairly large chuck of what I think is turtle shell, along with a very much alive turtle that rested with us for our lunch before returning to the water. The dream of finding anything marine mammal or a somewhat complete ray plate remains for next time!

South Alabama Eocene Period Fossil Hunting w/ the Kids *Best Find This Far
AveReel Outdoors posted a topic in Member Collections
So, I've been hunting sharks teeth on and off in South Alabama since a young child. Since my two kids have gotten self sufficient, me and the wife have been taking alot of trips to the river to look for teeth. Finding the normal small teeth, for our area, got me to wondering if there were bigger teeth in our area. That led me to some late nights of researching the ins and outs of my area. The area we are close to has alot of Eocene era fossils and I quickly learned the Carcharocles auriculatus was THE SHARK during this time period. So, my goal became to find a complete tooth in my little honey
