First Cretaceous hunt if the year

Recommended Posts

Happy new year!  I had a very relaxing and enjoyable 30 degree day in the creek yesterday. Tried out my my first pair chest waders yesterday and they where awesome. 

Anyway I feel like I had a decent haul. Last time I went out I almost threw out a hybodont fin spike. Thankfully I posted a picture before I did anything. It caused me though to think everything was something yesterday. There I’m going to make a separate post of some items I’m not sure of. Enjoy the pics. Any thoughts on I’d would be greatly appciated. 

 

Squalicotax kaupi

Nice teeth. Looks like you’re hauling in more finds with each trip.

 

The bottom one is S. pristodontus

first 3 on 2nd row are Archaeolamna.

the two in the middle of 3rd row are likely sand tigers but really are un IDable.

The last one in 3rd row is a thresher, Paranomotodon angustidens.

The tooth in 4th row is not really IDable

2nd pic: 2 Protocallianassa mortoni, cannot really see - probably either Enchodus or bone

No problem! You’ll get better over time. Usually if it’s a crown or root only tooth I just chuck it.

Threshers are always fun to find.

Some really intriguing colors in there!

Very cool colors come out of that water.  Hopefully next week I will have good luck at Brownies!
