Shrimp's collection

[shrimp]

Hello everyone

I have a pretty small collection, so I thought why not share it since it would only take a few posts?

First up, these are my only self collected fossils. From walking along the Humber river in Etobicoke, which puts them in the Georgian Bay formation I believe. I would love some more information!

Sweet little orthocone is why I took this one home.

The back of the rock which shows an imprint of somebody's shell. There may be some other stuff going on in the matrix here but I've got absolutely no idea.

 

Another orthocone with siphuncle pic if it helps with identification.

These ones are all gifts so I didn't identify them myself. Let me know if I'm mistaken.

Shrimp of shrimp. Pseudosculda laevis from Sannine formation in Lebanon. Upper Cretaceous.

Knightia from Green River, Wyoming. Eocene.

Cave bear molar from Romania. ~40,000 years old. My own wisdom tooth for scale.

This one I purchased myself from a museum gift shop. Good ol coprolite collected in Saskatchewan! The little insert it came with says 66mya which would put it late Cretaceous.

 

That's everybody for now, but I am waiting on a nice little package to clear customs and will update when it arrives.

Nice little start to your collection.

I'm sure @Monica  or @Emthegem  or @Kane  may be able to help out some with ID's.

The orthocones are probably Treptoceras crebriseptum. 

Very nice, too.

Yes this looks like it could be it, nice to have a name after all this time!

'somebody's shell' may possibly be Rafinesquina sp. (one with ribs at the bottom of that rock), but that's guess on what I know of the area and what I can see of it. Far from certain.

This could be it, its very hard to tell so I appreciate the guess regardless

Here is hot and fresh from the mailbox. Very happy with these they look even better than on the website!

 

Spinosaurus tooth from Kem Kem beds in Morocco, late Cretaceous.

 

Two trilobites also from Morocco. The larger one is Gerastos and the smaller one is unidentified but probably Acastoides according to the dealer. Both are lower-middle Devonian.

 

And a pretty agatized Cleoniceras from Mahajanga, Madagascar. Albian stage of Cretaceous.
