Pleuromya Posted Friday at 09:21 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:21 PM For the Carboniferous, I couldn't make my mind up which of these worms to add, so hopefully it's okay if I add three. Mazoglossus ramsdelli Archisymplectes rhoton Didontogaster cordylina All are from the Francis Creek shale. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Missourian Posted Friday at 11:25 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:25 PM 24 minutes ago, Pleuromya said: Sorry, I forgot about the Mississippian. Not a problem at all . Your post was Carboniferous, which could be either Mississippian or Pennsylvanian. Since the Carboniferous is a special case, the options could be: Mississippian, then Pennsylvanian Carboniferous, then Pennsylvanian, since Mississippian is lower Carboniferous in much of the world (in my case, I bumped up a stage) Carboniferous only and on to Permian, if no one with Penn material is paying attention 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In this game, don't let that paralyze you. Feel free to roll on into the Permian from there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

siteseer Posted Sunday at 07:59 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:59 PM The extinct shark, Serratolamna aschersoni. It's a common species from the Early Eocene of Morocco but uncommon from the Early Eocene of the Chesapeake Bay region. It does not occur in the Early Eocene London Clay of England. S. aschersoni was apparently a warm water form of the Tethys Ocean that spread into the western Atlantic. It's absence in the London Clay has been explained as that environment having been a cooler, deeper one. This tooth comes from the Early Eocene Bashi Marl of the Red Hot Truck Stop locality at Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi. The Bashi has been described as a member of the Hatchetigbee Formation but I've seen references to it as a formation. The tooth measures 20mm and was photographed on graph paper (1/4 inch squares) for scale in inches. The crown has more of a spearhead shape than most teeth seen. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

siteseer Posted Sunday at 10:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:40 PM Here's a bird beak from the Late Pleistocene, McKittrick tar pit site, Kern County, CA. It's about 2 5/8 inches (67mm) long. It might look like two different specimens but it's the same one. The shots were just taken at least several months apart. It might be a vulture beak. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

WOW, looks deadly! Is that just the beak or part of the skull as well? What is that large hole? Link to post Share on other sites
