Hunting from Home 2 - Oklahoma Permian!

[JamieLynn]

I posted some of my finds from the Texas Permian in the Box of Matrix I got from PaleoTex LLC and now I get to share some of the cool little stuff I've found in the Oklahoma Permian!  Texas Permian had lots of sharks teeth, Amphibian teeth and interesting boney bits. The Oklahoma stuff is not nearly as "productive" as the Texas Red Bed matrix, but it has LOTS more complete bones and vertebrae! And some really nice little jaws with teeth!  Here are a few of my favorite finds. Most are about 1/4 inch, some smaller, a few a bit larger.

 

Amphibian Bolterpeton Jaw and teeth 1/4 inch

 

Amphibian Captorhinus aguti  Jaw and Teeth: 

 

 

Synapsid Mycterosaurus Tooth and Jaw Fragment 1/4 inch

 

 

Unknown Amphibian Skull Fragment (the two round  knobs are where the vertebra attached) 1/4 inch

 

 

Another Unknown Amphibian Skull fragment: 3/8 inch

 

LOTS of little bones!

 

A nice full rib 

 

Vertebraes:

Myceterosaurus Caudal Vert:  1/4 inch

 

An interesting Vert that looks like an old Victorian Door Knocker! hahaha   Probably Captorhinus  1/4 inch

 

Another Captorhinus Vert  1/4 inch

 

An unknown Vert:  1/8 inch

JL,

 

How much matrix total did it take to produce these finds?

 I am not completely sure. Since I got the bag from PaleoTex, they just said Oklahoma Permian, but the stuff I was finding seemed most similar to what is found at Richards Spur (info on the internet)

This was all from a 3.5 lb bag.

Gotcha, I thought you meant you went out and collected this.  I think that company's stuff is coming from Richards Spur quarry

  That's why it's titled Hunting from Home and I mention the Box of Matrix I got from PaleoTex.  But yeah, I didn't specifically say the Oklahoma Matrix was also in a box i purchased from them.  So now that we are all clear......hahahhah! Have you done much collecting there? Are you familiar with the species found there?

Those are all so neat- it's fantastic how complete and identifiable the bones are.

OMG, I wish I could go there!  It's off limits to just about anybody whos not with a school, institution or museum.  I'm not sure how they are getting material.  They must have paid well for access.
