More Aurora NC Fossil Museum Matrix Finds

[JamieLynn]

A few more of my favorite finds from the Aurora Fossil Museum Matrix - I am not even half way through the two gallon bags of matrix from my purchase! SO MUCH COOL LITTLE STUFF!! 

 

Being micros, all specimens are under 1/4 inch

 

Shark Teeth:

Top Cookie Cutter, Sand Tiger

Bottom : Catshark, Unknown

 

Not Shark Teeth: 

Top: Not sure what this one is, Second one is Raja

Bottom: Fish Porgy and Dasyatidae

 

 

Top: Echinoid spine and tubercle

Bottom: Burrfish mouthplate and a bit o' Crab  I think

Not sure about these but I am leaning towards Turtle on both top and bottom specimens.

Nice finds. This one is a devil ray tooth, probably Mobula.

Your pictures are great!  I wish I can get my pictures to look like that.  How do you get the nice white background?  Do you do that with a computer?

 Thank you! I take pics on just a plain white printer paper and then clean up in Paint any little spots. These I havn't cleaned up much. Was too excited to show them.

The top one looks a bit like a denticle (missing the tooth-like projection), or osteoderm, but wait for someone who know more than I do. I agree, your photos are really nice!
