Raistlin Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Only two of them look the same are they different fish or just different looking? RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Probably from different fish, but hard to say. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

hokietech96 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I also think fish. Only because I have spent the past year looking at Lee creek under a microscope. Haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The specimens in the 1st and 3rd pictures look like the same fish species. The specimens in the 2nd and 4th pictures look like two different fish species, so 3 fish species total.

Excuse my ignorance, but what's an "acrodin cap"? I wasn't really able to find something on an internet search just now, other than it's a different kind of mineralised tissue from enamel proper... Is it the translucent part of the apex often seen on fish teeth?
