historianmichael Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I had a great day yesterday collecting at the Ramanessin Brook with @Jeffrey P and @frankh8147 and members of the DVPS. The weather was a bit overcast but the iffy weather certainly did not take away from the great accumulation of finds. From what I could tell everyone seemed to find something special, with the find of the day going to Frank. I started out finding a bunch of shark teeth and slowly transitioned to finding more fish teeth and other goodies from the brook. I seem to have a penchant for finding crustacean claws as this is the second trip in a row on which I have found a crustacean claw. The finds from about 5 hours of sifting Here are some of my favorite finds from the trip: A little piece of ammonite Pycnodont (Anomoeodous phaseolus) lateral tooth on a section of mouth plate Enchodus lower palatine jaw fragment Tiny crustacean claws (probably ghost shrimp) A small red Archaeolamna kopingensis A cool little clam steinkern I found just hanging out on a gravel bar 1 6 Follow me on Instagram (@fossil_mike) to check out my personal collection of fossils collected and acquired over more than 15 years of fossil hunting!

Neanderthal Shaman Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Very nice finds! I live in an area with ghost shrimp, and I think they're a pretty good match for your claw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
