Wonderful report, congratulations on the anniversary! Those are some beautiful ammonites, I really enjoyed reading your extensive trip. Hope you and your wife have many more trips that are just as successful!

Thanks for sharing your great report/anniversary with us, Dan.    (Congratulations on that, BTW.)

I appreciate the time you took to make this report and all updates.

Great finds, and great friends, can't ask for better than that.

Nice Dan, love the finds….

Thanks Tim.  I've been making some fun finds lately, but hadn't posted anything of substance in a while.  Field and prep have been my priorities, but it is fun to occasionally drop a report online.

Now a few blurry microscope shots from the Carlile Shale.  All from one nodule my wife picked up.  The first pic is the only sure shark tooth in the nodule.  Looks like a Squalicorax begging for light scribe work.

 

Not sure what to think of the 2 objects in the second image.  Each about 7-8 mm long.

 

The last 2 pics show what I thought was a weathered shark tooth blade with partial root upon initial inspection.  But with a slightly better view of the surface under magnification, now I'm not sure.  @PFOOLEY

The last specimen could be a badly eroded shark tooth but looks more like a bone (probably fish) from the pictures.  The bottom specimen in the second picture with two specimens also looks like a fish bone.

COOL BEANS! Anniversary adventure, beautiful scenery, NICE fossils, meet up with fellow enthusiast, AND Sante Fe!  I'd call that about perfect...

 

AND congrats on 9 years!

I know I’m the last person qualified to answer any ID but your bottom-most photo reminds me of some of the fish dorsal spines I’ve seen posted on the forum
