Squatina sp. #1, lingual view 9 mm wide at the base, 6 mm tall. Round Mountain Silt Member of the Temblor Formation - Middle Miocene Epoch Sharktooth Hill, Bakersfield, California Angel Shark teeth (Squatina) are difficult to photograph without some kind of focus stacking software - the roots are strange and often out of focus in my photos! -

Squalus occidentalis #1, lingual view 8 mm wide at the base. Round Mountain Silt Member of the Temblor Formation - Middle Miocene Epoch Sharktooth Hill, Bakersfield, California This is my favorite Squalus tooth. It is very translucent, and the internal structure is really cool looking. -
I spent a few days hunting teeth at the Ernst Quarries of Sharktooth Hill. The hunting was plentiful for the standard Miocene fossils, but I also brought home a few bags of sediment for micro. It took a while to go through, catalog and photograph, but I have the results. There is such a wonderful variety in this sediment! Here are a few of my favorites. All are shown on a millimeter scale. I will be presenting the fossils from this hunt and a previous hunt at the April meeting of the Dallas Paleontological Society, along with tools and techniques for hunting at Sharktooth Hill. Pics below include: Galeorhinus Triakis Dermal Denticles Catshark Heterodont Anterior Heterodont Posterior Triakidae (Smooth Hound Shark) Bony Fish Teeth

Hey Y'All, I found this cool little denticle while searching some micromatrix that I collected last year. It is the only one of this type that i have found so far. Just thought that Y'All might like to see it. It is 2.25 millimeters long. I tried to get different light and angles to show the spiral ridges that run the length of this denticle, and match up to the cusps around the edges. Hope You find it entertaining! Tony PS I hope I identified it correctly- but with My track record I would not be surprised if it is actually a tooth.

The carapace were composed of 100 or more of these plates. -
