Rappahannock creek hunting

Just had a nightmare time getting my scanner going. 

This is some of my finds from my last three trips (actually from two and a half-- tripped over a root and lost some colorful teeth).  Mostly the usual sand tiger teeth (some colorful), but a few oddities; a skate dentacle, a pellet with 'mud shrimp' coprolites, a pathological tooth, a dolphin tooth(?), a sandtiger parasymphysial, some cow shark (all partials), a few angel shark and drum teeth, small verts, a tiger shark with a very flat crown, an almost complete ecphora, for a change, and a small piece of jaw with four tooth sockets.  

I'll try to get some scans of the more interesting stuff later (can't fight the scanner anymore today!)

Neat finds!

Nice variety of colors there, too. 

Thanks for my smile today.

 Nice finds I’ll be moving down in spring of 23 permanently into VA . I currently live NY so at some point we’ll have to do a trip together or with a few others from VA I have been talking to. I think I’m going to have to rent a POD just to move my fossils down

Great finds. What species is the ecphora?

I have no idea.  None of the ones I find are big, and most are damaged.  How many different kinds of ecphora are there?
