SharkySarah Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I’m trying to use fossil guy to identify fossils from the Calvert formation. I think this is Brachyurus but I’m looking for a second opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I believe this is either Carcharhu=inus obscurus or C. leucus. Try using elasmo.com to help use their Lee Creek page. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Also as brachyurus would be the species the "b" is not capitalized.

SharkySarah Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 @sixgill pete I am plenty aware that it’s the species name (I have a degree in wildlife resources and use scientific names daily, my phone just has a tendency to have a mind of its own) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Given the size and shape, I suggest C. falciformis, or C. perezii. It's a bit small for C. lucas or C. obscurus, and the blade is a bit wide for C. brachyurus. 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

For example I have megs that are less than 1/2 inch.
