flyingpenut Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 After my last NSR trip, and finding a mosasaur vert, I felt like I was getting a better eye for NRS fossils. I have always heard the feeder creeks can be productive however I have searched in several never found anything in them. Now that I had more confidence I went to a more remote bridge and went for the first feeder creek I could find. It turned out to be decently productive with several more verts, none in particularly great condition though, and a jaw section. I think there is a coprolite in there too, pictures 14 and 15 maybe? I think my favorite find of all was the artifact though. Anyone have an idea what pictures 7-13 are of? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks I was hoping mastodon or mammoth enamel but it was such a weird shape couldn't tell for sure. I usually just find small straight flecks. Link to post Share on other sites

Jared C Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Looks like some nice bison teeth in the mix! Hard to be too sure without seeing the chewing surface though. I would agree with @Familyroadtrip that 7-9 shows mastodon enamel - picture seven gives it away, it seems as if it's one of the points that characterizes the molars of a mastodon rather than the flat, ridged surface of a mammoth tooth.
