Joe Salande Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Greetings Gang! I found these while sifting through a creek in Northern Mississippi. Specifically at the W.M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil park. I'm pretty sure that the top four are "Goblin Shark", although I could be wrong. I don't know if the bottom ones are, or another species. This is the first time I did this, so happy with my results. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Salande Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 And I also found these at the same place. I am pretty sure there some type of oyster, I just couldn't figure out what kind. I did look, but just couldn't figure it out. Any help would be great. And I assume this is on the same tread, but incase it's not, it's from Frankston Mississippi. Any thoughts relative to what these are would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The top row are all Goblin lower teeth. The bottom looks like Goblin upper teeth, but not sure if they all are. Nice finds for your first time! 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
