Granth Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hello again. I have acquired some new specimens to expand my "collection" and I would like you to help me corroborate the identifications of these fossils. I have no idea what species the trilobite corresponds to, I only know that it is from Morocco. According to the seller, the tooth was collected north of Florida, in a Pleistocene stratum and corresponds to a Tapirus veroensis. Likewise, the "crocodile" tooth was collected in the Bone Valley Area, Florida, within the Pliocene substratum. The shark tooth was identified as belonging to "megalodon". And finally, the piece of jaw with the tooth was collected in France and corresponds to a plagiolophus minor. I would love to have your opinions regarding those identifications and if you could help me to better catalog the "crocodile" tooth (if and when possible). Thank you very much!

Top Trilo Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 The trilobite looks like Flexicalymene ouzregui or it could be Colpocoryphe grandis depending on whether or not the pygidial flanks are smooth. Unfortunately the pygidium isn't very well preserved so I can't tell. Perhaps @Kane or @piranha could tell. The tooth definitely looks like Otodus megalodon but it could be any of the other Otodus species depending on age. That's all I can help with. Perhaps @Harry Pristis could identify the mammal tooth. 1 1 1 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.

caterpillar Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I agree with the Plagiolophus minor. Certainly from priabonian of Sainte Capraise d'Eymet in France 1 http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
