Here are a few pictures from another recent trip to NSR. Nothing special again but also a few interesting items I have no idea that they are. Anyone know what some of these pictures are of?

Sorry about that. The rock in the first and last picture are the same just front and back. Please see the below jpegs:

Picture # 5 and #10.  Those round shaped hole thing and last photo are Rudist fragments.

This appears to be a fragment of a mammoth tooth plate.

You mean enamel? I don't know that mammoth can be found in NSR (more experienced NSR hunters may correct me), more common to find mastodon enamel. I think this is some mineral, maybe calcite?

Thanks for the ID. Even though I wasn't able to find any shark teeth or Mosasaur material there were a few oddities that were interesting. This one I really didn't know if it was man made, fossil, or geological. Usually I can narrow it down to at least tow of those categories. You never know what the North Sulphur River will bring.
