  1. Hello all! Just finished going through a small batch of matrix from the York River and found a some fossils that I need help IDing. 1. These ones strike me as some sort of polychaete jaws, but not sure. 2. Some denticles or teeth but they seem a lot different than the skate (Rostroraja sp.) that I've been finding (see 2.1). These do not have the cusp or base morphology that I've been observing and are quite smaller. 2.1 Rostroraja teeth Thanks so much! Miguel M

    Miocene Chesapeake Bay

    I haven’t been tooth hunting in a long time, so I’m scanning through sand from Matoaka beach, Maryland. I’m hoping to get out this year. I always love finding skate or Ray teeth.

    Rapp beach and creek

    Went out three times. Actually the beach was more relaxing, talked with others there (two others had found cow shark teeth there, I found two; a whitish cowshark tooth was washed out of the photo). We had two warm days, light breezes, and walking the beach is a nice break from screening cold mud and black leaves. More fossil bone bits and skate stuff (usually teeth) but I found a nice scute/ denticle and a fossil stinger piece. The people out hunting shark teeth at the beach generally do not know what types of teeth they find (mostly sand tiger) and one had a pretty broken Tilly bone, but no clue what it was (just picking up interesting stuff). Reliving their youth. Supposedly there will be a new state park in Middlesex, VA according to the people I talked with, near Bush park. They claim there are cliffs with lots of complete Chesapectins as well as beaches with lots of fossils and shark teeth. Hopefully this is true. There is a lot of bemoaning the loss of local access to waterfront areas where earlier generations of kids used to hunt shark teeth, as the property values have skyrocketed. York River state park has lots of shells and fossil bits, but shark teeth are rare, and that's what children want. The locals were complaining the State Park beaches only allow collecting on the beaches and screening of sand at the water edge, but no digging, and any important fossils belong to the State. Not sure when it will happen or what the rules will be. But there may be a rush of collectors to the new state park site before it sets up. Nothing spectacular in my three hunts, but freezing temps in the morning and highs between 40 and 50 F may cut down on collectors. Indian summer is over.
  4. Continuing the quest to find more weird cow shark teeth that started a few years ago, unlike any I had found in the past. A few cow shark teeth were from the beach along with skate teeth, a huge skate scute/ dermal piece, and a partial stinger (some fossil bone and beach glass as well). The usual sand tiger and one or two smallish mako bottom teeth(?) My quest for cow shark bottom laterals which do not have the "typical" serrations on the first point is taking forever. I found a lot of cow shark teeth in the last few weeks, but the vast majority have the "typical" serrations. The most interesting one seems to be an upper tooth with three small extra points (possibly a broken bottom lateral, but heavy root and twisted point suggest top tooth). There are always a few that are not definitive, that may support an unserrated first point with separate small points, but weathering and breaks frustrate my efforts. While I was looking to the extant sharp-nosed cow shark as evolving from my weird teeth (which I have only found at one spot), I have been looking at extinct Notidanodon teeth on-line and wonder if that might be a better fit? Most specimens seem to be from the Cretaceous pre-dating my stuff, mostly from the Miocene.

    Shark tooth?

    Hello! Help please with identification. In my opinion it has some similarity with Hemiscyllium, but I dont know for sure. Length ~ 1,5 mm. Age - Early Eocene. Location- Ukraine. Thanks in advance!
  6. Kolya

    Skate tooth ?

    Hello! Help please with identification. I think it is some genus from Rhinobatiformes, but I did not found such teeth before. Size ~ 1 mm. Middle Miocene, Badenian. Western Ukraine. Thanks in advance!

    Modern skate skeleton

    Not sure where to post this request, so change as appropriate. The Maryland Natural History Society will be holding its annual Shark Fest in August. I volunteer there. As part of our educational displays, a skate skeleton would be useful for folks to see, feel the cartilage and to see the protective dermal denticles. I have looked on the internet but have not come up with with any. I looked on taxidermy sites and online. I wondered if any TFF members may have or can refer me to a person or site where such a skeleton or partial piece like a tail section would be available. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Batoid Vertebra

    From the album: C&D Canal Micro Fossils

    Batoid Vertebrae

    From the album: Delaware Fossils

    Vertebrae from either a stingray or skate. Found in close proximity to each other at a site where such things are rare, so probably from the same animal. L:arger one is about 3cm wide. Found at Reedy Point, C and D Canal, Delaware. Maastrichtian.

    Ray and Skate Verts

    Yesterday, a hunting companion found a Vertebra like this one. The majority of his finds were Stingray (broken) mouth plates, isolated teeth and barbs. He immediately thought he had a Stingray vert, but I said no.... Sawfish. and now I am not sure. Why is it so difficult to find verts from Stingrays (Manta, Eagle, etc) identified on the Internet? What do they look like? Can I compare a Sawfish vert to a Manta Ray Vert and note differences? In searching, I found this reference and photos https://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/species-especes/skates/anatomy/internal-eng.html The website has this photo of a Thorny Skate vertebrae but no edge photo.. This top view looks very similar to Sawfish
  11. I've always loved living fossils, especially the fish. They are relics of an age long lost, offering us a glimpse of an incredible prehistoric world. Some are enigmas that survived countless extinction events since the Devonian. Others are majestic predators that swam alongside the dinosaurs. Let me present my collection of living fossil fishes from the Mesozoic and before. I will begin with one of the most famous of all - the coelacanth Coelacanth Species: Whiteia woodwardi Age: 252.3 - 251.3 mya | early Triassic Formation: Diego Basin; Middle Sakamena Formation Locality: Ambilobe, Madagascar First appearance: Eoachtinistia foreyi was found 360 million years ago in Australia Paddlefish Species: Protopsephurus liui Age: 125.5 - 112.5 mya | early Cretaceous Formation: Yixian Formation Locality: Lingyuan City, Liaoning First appearance: This is the oldest known species Sturgeon Species: Peipiaosteus fengningensis Age: 125.5 - 120 mya | early Cretaceous Formation: Jehol Biota Locality: Chifeng, Nei Mongol First appearance: Multiple species e.g. Yanosteus longidorsalis found since 125 million years ago in China Pipefish Species: Hipposygnathus sp. Age: 28.1 - 13.8 mya | Oliogocene - Miocene Formation: Monterey Formation Locality: Santa Ynez Valley, California, USA First appearance: Solenostomidae species were found 55.8 million years ago in Italy Note: Although most of this collection only includes fishes that existed since the Mesozoic or later, I made an exception for the pipefish as their order, syngnathiform, existed since the late Cretaceous

    rapp creek hunting

    My hip is bothering me, but we've had beautiful weather the last few days so I had to get out. Ended up being a short trip. Most of what I found was broken and small and about half as many teeth as usual, but I tried. Tape is in cm. A three inch ecphora, but missing a tail. Two or three skate stinger pieces. A nice but hard to scan cowshark upper, and pieces, some fin tilly bones, a few angel shark and drum. Lots of animal tracks along the creek but no frogs, crawfish or salamanders, just scud shrimp.

    Mysterious sea tooth

    I have found this thing in a campanian marine phosphate deposit. It came along with fish and shark teeth. It looks like some kind of tooth, but I have no idea. The brown area is translucent and looks like enamel. Although the grey is thicker and sharp. Any experts on cretaceous fish would be welcome Ps. This is definately not just a rock, I am fairly familiar with this deposit and can judge a rock from a fossil. Could anybody I'd this please?

    Rapp beach trip

    Went out after the snow here, not expecting much. Found a dozen or so small teeth (one small mako?), a flat (porpoise?) partially hollow tooth, some coral on a scallop, skate teeth and a nice piece of stinger, and-- finally-- a bunch of shrimp coprolite burrows (had not seen any in a longtime, but the storm deposited several; posted photo on that thread). Bunch of "whale' bone" chunks. A fun day.
