smokeriderdon Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 OK, these shouldnt be too hard. I have hunches, but not really strong on these types. First is from Belgrade mine, NC. Thinking alopias... These three are from Lee Creek. Not at all sure... Fairly certain these guys are alopias... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Trilo Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 While your not supposed to use coins for size reference I do enjoy the 1940 wheat penny (collected coins until I realized they weren't old enough and started collecting fossils) 1 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas.Dodson Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I agree with Alopias sp. Anterior Alopias teeth are narrow compared to the lateral and posterior teeth. Another thing to keep an eye out for is that Alopias superciliosus teeth also display marked sexual differences, especially in the anterior teeth. This sexual heterodonty produces more narrow and sinuous teeth with higher, more flexed cusps in males compared to the broader teeth in females. This isn't saying your teeth are necessarily A. superciliosus, I'm just making a general Alopias statement. There's a nice comparison on Elasmo that directly discusses this in teeth of Lee Creek A. cf superciliosus with pictures. LINK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
