Dale H Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I need assistance with identification of several items. Any thoughts. North Texas cretaceous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntonia Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 D E & F look like they could be fragments of Mastodon teeth. I would suggest that to get positive IDs you should post close ups of each item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I would suggest stating a location in your initial posts, as most people miss the "tags". Also a county or nearby town would be more help in determining the age of the fossils. North Texas is big.

Notidanodon Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 c looks like a worn vertebra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentuckiana Mike Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 B looks like the base of shark tooth. You might consult http://northtexasfossils.com/ site to see if it matches any of the shark tooth images there like the Cretodus or Protolamna. I agree with the previous post, C looks like a vertebra (maybe a shark centrum). You can find images of those at the site I listed earlier.

Harry Pristis Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 "E" is a fragment of an enamel plate from a mammoth tooth. "D" may be another, stream-polished example. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
