Myliobatis sp., Burleson Co. Lutetian, Eocene Dec, 2022 -
I realize it's quite the task ID'ing shark/ray vertebra... However, I am hoping some of you will be generous enough to share your input on these finds from a recent trip to Summerville, SC. Larger vert measures 1-3/4" X 13/16". Smaller guy is 3/4" X 5/16" and I'm hoping for sawfish on that one, which would be my first! The last pic is simply for your viewing pleasure, because it's the most unique looking vert I've ever found with that root leaching! I also understand that I might not get far with the bug guy, but thought it was large enough to get detailed enough pics

I originally thought the last slide was pieces of coral but couldn’t find similar images. I think the first picture is some kind of tooth on the left and then maybe just a ray plate embedded in rock on the right. Thanks for any help!

Hello! Is it possible to exclude Myliobatis and maybe possible to identify genus? Length: ~ 1 cm. Age: Eocene, Ypresian. Location: Western Ukraine. Thanks!

Why are these denticles going in opposite directions? It’s got me baffled, but maybe it’s just ignorance.. any help is appreciated

Mississippi Hunting Tour (Fossils, Ancestors and Ghosts)
JamieLynn posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
My husband and I went on a little "tour" of Mississippi on a three part "hunting" trip....for fossils, ancestors and ghosts. Before you get all grammatical, I didn't hunt my ancestors, but I did hunt for their gravesites. I have ancestry 7 generations back in the Natchez area of southern Mississippi and had been there a few times for family reunions while growing up. But it's been at least 35 years since I was last there. So we decided to make a little road trip around the state to visit not only my ancestors, but also a tour of as many Native American mounds as we could fit in the trip - f- 12 replies

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

Good morning again!...Been working on this little piece I found in Pennsylvania Winterset limestone in Kansas City, Missouri. Before I go any further, can anyone help with what it is? If just a shell fragment, I"ll stop and add it to my growing rock pile! :).. thanks! Bone

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
