Cretaceous Period Micro Shark And Fish Teeth

[Rockin' Ric]

I've got great hunting buddies! I had to work the day they went to a creek in South Alabama to hunt for fossils. Not being able to go to the creek, they brought the creek to me in a bucket! Nothing like sitting on your balcony sifting for shark teeth! I found several nice sized shark teeth, that got caught in the 1/4" mesh consisting of Scapanorynchus (goblin shark), Squalicorax, (crow shark), fish teeth, Enchodus and Pycnodont.

 

Mid-size teeth that didn't get through my colander such as Scapanorynchus (goblin shark), Squalicorax, (crow shark), two tiny Ptychodus teeth, two Hybodont teeth, and Paranmotodon. Ptychotrygon (sawfish and tiny rostral teeth), two conical fish teeth, or Mosasaur? Myledaphus pustulosus (ray teeth), Pseudocorax, fish vert, gastropod steinkern, fish teeth, Enchodus, Hadrodus priscus, and Pycnodont teeth.

 

Did another sift of what got through the colander, this time through a window screen mesh and got these tiny teeth. Size comparison to a sewing needle. Scapanorynchus, Enchodus, Hadrodus priscus, Ptychotrygon and tiny fish vert? Cretaceous Period, Mooreville Chalk, South Alabama  USA.

Nice finds.  I'm starting to miss finding teeth.  May have to go on a hunt.
