Meganeura Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Okay a few IDs are needed today - shark tooth, what I think is an armadillo scute, and something I don’t know. 1) Shark tooth - the massive root is throwing me off. 2) Armadillo scute? 3) Whatever this is. Could be geological - but idk: 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to know I can add another symphyseal (Which is what I think it is, based on pics online, over anterior) to my collection! 1 Fossils? I dig it.

Meganeura Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Just now, val horn said: The second looks like a glyptodont scute while the last akes me think of an internal mold of a bivalve Yeah - i'm certain the second is a worn Holmensia Sp. scute - armadillo, not Glyptodont, those are much bigger + have the rosette pattern. But interesting take on 3 being a steinkern. I'll have to take more pics tomorrow. 1 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meganeura Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 Update - claw core is in fact a distal phalanx - likely carnivorous rodent like a raccoon! @Harry Pristis 2 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Hulbert didn't tell you the claw core is from "a carnivorous rodent like a raccoon." What did he say? 2 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did he say? To quote: "The general anatomy of the distal phalanx (=claw core) is the type found in rodents and carnivores. Based on size most likely from a smallish carnivore, such as a raccoon." I paraphrased, poorly, lol. I may be a little tired, I know Raccoons aren't rodents 1 1 Fossils? I dig it.
