It was really hot today, hunted in the rain, actually pretty nice. Kept the mosquitoes off of me.... Great opportunity to stand in water and looks for fossils....Lots of variation in the finds... I'll show_and_tell the more common finds and then ask for help on the last few... Turtle: Not many , but a few were pretty nice.. I have found lots of turtle . This one had odd fossilization.. A neural #2 .. @digit might confirm. A very nice Hemipristis, a Sawfish Vertebra and a rat jaw with canine.. A couple of bones. I think one is a radius. Any hints appreciated: These are sort of extra credit... 2nd bone, great shape ,, not a clue... In addition to the above , found a couple of hundred small colorful shark teeth... Now the ones to be identified wrong size for Horse, either Equus or Tridactyl. I have incisors for both and this just seems wrong.... I wondered about wild hogs or common pigs... so maybe this is a peccary incisors... I find little comfort in those guesses... and now this molar... Hard to get a good photo of it.... Chewing surface above... Enjoy.. All comments and suggestions appreciated.

Hey guys, I'm trying to ID a collection of verts found in an area of the Egyptian desert known for Marine late Eocene fossils. I need some help with how to work out the difference between shark and sawfish verts please. Thanks in advance

Found this neat pathological sawfish or sawfish-like oral tooth today while searching through some Post Oak Creek matrix that I collected a couple years ago. I believe this should be of the cretaceous Eagle Ford Group of Texas. It appears to be two teeth that are fused together. My best guess on the ID is texatrygon, but I'm still not super confident with my "sawfish" teeth ID so I would welcome any additional opinions on ID. I've seen many interesting patho shark teeth posted here on the forum but I don't remember seeing any patho sawfish teeth so I thought this would be interesting to share. For scale, the grid is 5x5mm.

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!

Some more items that I found last Sunday with out with @DirtyHippie and @jcbshark..Had a few questions... Much of this went into the collection bag, with the view that I would figure it out later... I had previously found many rostral teeth in the Peace River of different types. I only have one bigger than this one. The grove on the bottom identifies the genus as Pristis and I thought it was P. lathami. What's confusing me is that P. lathami seems restricted to Eocene/Oligocene but I have found many in the Peace River. So my question is what species of Sawfish possesses this tooth. I also found the 1/2 Sawfish vert, which I previously believed to be P. lathami. I added to the photo a P. lathami Vert that I found years back in the Peace River for comparison purposes. I'm just a little confused about the age of the Sawfish fossils I found last Sunday.... There is another oddity in this last photo... That 1st photo made me think Echinoid... Is this an Echinoid.. I have found pieces and a very few whole) Sand Dollars in the Peace River... never one of these. I guess it might be a Tillybone. Curious. Please let me know what you think.. Jack

Hello all, On a bone valley fossil hunting trip, I turned up a fossil I was a bit unsure about. My best guess was a sawfish rostral tooth. Let me know your thoughts and some bonus pics at the end! Here is what I believe to be a porpoise tooth (the other side is a bit busted up) And here is a riker frame of some of my better bone valley shark teeth I found. Thanks for looking!
