Recommended Posts

Went on a trip with Dallas Paleo Society to a Moss Creek site on private land. just ran a small batch of the matrix that I brought back. These are the "bigs", size reference is about 4 pieces per inch. Just finished this batch yesterday and haven't had a chance to do any id work yet.

 

Variety of shark teeth

Top right looks to be a stingray barb? And bottom left a stingray dermal denticle? And a few of the other ones here are fish teeth I believe.

Fossils? I dig it. :meg:

In your last picture, the top two are fish teeth, Hadrodus priscus.  The bottom two are Sclerorhynnchus sp. rostral teeth.  They are similar to Ischyrhiza mira rostral teeth except they have a distinct bulge on the anterior edge (especially obvious on the one on the right).  The Dallas Paleo Society has a publication available (Occasional Paper V. 4, Fossil Collectors Guide to the North Sulphur River) that is pretty good for ID'ing your Moss Creek material.
