Found this in a creek off the Rappahannock River mixed in with Found this in a creek off the Rappahannock River, Virginia mixed in with shark teeth. Curved (semi-circular), chisel on one end (two tone color), hollow on other end. No idea what the stuff stuck to it is.

I found this in a creek leading to Grove Lake in Antelope county NE (near Ashfall fossil beds) I've found a lot of bone fragments and teeth there before, but this find was particularly interesting. Anyone know what type of rodent it is from and if it is from the same time period as the many mammal fossils at ashfalls?

Here's another jaw I found on the Brazos River. Hope someone can help me id it. The total piece is 4 inches long and the length of the longest tooth is 3/8inch across the top of the crown.

Found this little mandible today. Galveston Bay dredge spoils late Pleistocene. Unfortunately no teeth but does this look like Leporidae? If so rabbit or hare? Darrow

I collected some micro-matrix gravel while hunting a site in the Peace River that had a good abundance of mammal fossils. My hope was that there would be some micro mammal fossils as well. I seemed to have guessed correctly as I turned up this nano molar which I assume is rodent based the size (~1.7 mm diameter across the occlusal surface x 2.7 maximum height to the end of the one remaining root). I tried to get a clear image of the occlusal surface but believe me something this small is hard to hold and keep in the focal plane. Would be interesting to see if Rich or any of the others who might know their tiny mammals can make an ID on this little speck of a fossil. -Ken
