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 to point me in the right direction!

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!

A quick group shot, once I made it back to the car:

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 - from Vicksburg to Natchez (Emerald Mound and Grand Village) to Clarksdale (Winterville Mounds and the "Crossroads" if you are a blues fan) to Tupelo and back to Texas (via Toltec Mounds in Arkansas.) And of course, my husband did his ghost hunting (we always stay in haunted hotels and B&Bs- we both hunt old dead things....in our own way hahahah) and I did a little bit of Fossil hunting....not as much as I would have liked because THREE of my scouted spots were bunk. Nothing in two spots, just some busted oysters in a third spot. But I did make it to the Browning Fossil Park and while I was not exactly prepared for the very very cold and muddy waters, I did at least bring a hand shovel and a sieve so was able to get myself a half bucket of matrix to bring home to look at at my leisure. AND I found two little crinoids on the Mississippi river because it was historically low and you could walk out quite a ways. So here are some of my fossil finds and some random Mississippi pics for you to enjoy. My VERY BEST FIND: 1. Shark Odontaspis sp. 1/4 inch 2. I think this is a Scyliorhinus sp. but the tip curves WAY up, so I may be wrong on my ID. Size 1/8 inch 3. A few Sawfish Ptychotrygon triangularis 1/8 inch 4. Another Ray Top Row: Brachyrhizodus mcnultii Bottom Row: not sure...maybe fish tooth 5. More Fish Teeth: Top L: Hybodus or Pycnodonte, Top R: Xiphactinus sp Bottom L : Unknown Bottom R: Enchodus sp. 6. Top Row: Unknown...couldn't find any info. If anyone knows, please enlighten! Bottom Row: might be Barnacle Zeugmatolepas sp. ? 7. Top Row: I love these things...I'm guessing they are a worm tube of some kind Bottom Row: Echinoid Spine 8. I think the top row black one is a Crinoid...I thought it was a vertebra at first, but the ring on the outside makes me think crinoid...plus I did find the one little yellow crinoid. SO not a lot of finds, but I am happy with what I ended up with....at least I ended up with something! Here's the crinoid I found on the Mississippi river...it's a nice big one! the mighty Mississippi at sunset in Natchez a turtle at the cemetary our sharecroppers cabin in Clarksdale (The Shack Up Inn is a great place to say, y'all).thumb.jpg.e1947b3af4b2fc7264b0dacfc80fe4b7.jpg)

Hello everyone, I found these shark and ray teeth on the seashore between Knokke and Het Zwin, in Belgium. Could someone help me to identify them? Thank you in advance.

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 smaller teeth, I will try to take some better pics once I get them sorted and layed out flat: Ray teeth and spines: All the verts were pretty beat up: A good sampling of shells: Crab claws: Sea Urchin spines: I couldn't manage to find a whole cow shark tooth, but I did see a gorgeous little complete one come out of the hole next to me. Here are a few partials we found: A few micro samples, I did grab a few jars of sifted matrix once I realized how many small teeth were falling through And lots and lots of coral my wife wanted for some project she wants to do: Overall it was a good time. We met a lot of friendly and interesting folks and my wife already asked if I wanted to book the place we stayed to come back next year. Thanks for looking, Randy

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 limiting factor: I look forward to learning about these. Thank you!

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
