Cretaceous Shark Teeth and other Marine Fossils

[Rockin' Ric]

Hello all! My last post showed my participation hunting shark teeth and marine fossils in our state. I mostly collect Carboniferous Plant Fossils and happy to say I've added shark teeth/vertebrate, Ptychodus, Enchodus and Mosasaur teeth...Ammonites, Baculite, ray and sawfish teeth (micro teeth) to my collection as well as coprolites. A few samples pictured. Sifting marine fossils can be quite addictive! In addition to that my hunting buddies and I continue to find archaic material as well such as Native American arrowheads and pottery shards. The site is private property but such a beautiful, secluded place so much so there is no cell signal out there so it's just nature, hearing every species of bird and the wind rustling through the leaves, and of course one or two buddies around the bend doing their thing! I can get used to this!

Nice finds! Reminds me of the Cretaceous streams of New Jersey.

Wondering what the third item down on the left in the third pic is. I have one but only kept it because "it looked like something." Thanks.

All 4 pieces below the top piece are Baculite segments. The top is a piece of Ammonite.

Wow, Ric! Very jealous of your outing on what looks like a beautiful day, and in beautiful quiet surroundings!   

Your finds are quite good, as well. 

 

Cheers!

Nice finds! Seems like a great place to hunt, I totally agree with how addicting stream sifting can be.

Hi Dave,

 

That was my first thought too - right down to the ammonite pieces and the poop.
