Polished slab of an unidentified coral from the northern Kainach Gosau, just a small boulder in an area with a thin bed of rudist-coral-limestone amongst all the conglomerates and sandstones. Matrix of this coral is quite sandy, too.  Note the very sharp and well preserved costae (ribs). Any hints to its ID ;)? Thanks!

Here's a Notidanodon upper tooth from the Paleocene of the Ouled Abdoun Basin, Morocco.  Notidanodon is an extinct genus of cow shark.  It disappeared by the end of the Paleocene.

Here's a three-tooth maxilla section about 2.5 inches long of Hyrachyus from the Middle Eocene of Sweetwater County, Wyoming.  Hyrachyus is considered an early rhino though related to tapiroids.

I found this on forest service land during geology field camp in 1998. Collecting was allowed as long as all finds were photographed and documented at the time.

Here’s a nice anterior Heterodontus tooth from the Pliocene of Chile. I guess technically it would be Miocene-Pliocene but for the sake of the thread, Pliocene works
