Peace River Hunting.. May 26th

[Shellseeker]

Usually when I hunt, I stay in the same location as long as I am finding enough to justify my efforts. There were lots of larger rocks and digging was strenuous. After 2 hours, I started "prospecting" downstream looking for easier and more productive places to dig, About the 3rd place I tried,  BINGO..

I was finding some almost perfect small Hemis and Tigers..easy on the eyes.

 

Then some interesting ear bones showed up.. The 1st could be horse although it has some extra features.  The 2nd is almost certainly Dolphin.  Not sure if it is broken or not.

 

Then a number of fossils ,  I could use help on....

 

A tiny 20mm black fish with curious scales...

Broken Echinoids

A mud rock with some Boytriodal on it....

 

Daniel,  can to ID the fauna from its tooth enamel..  This 30 mm enamel is new to me..

 

 

There were lots of flakes but no artifacts.. meaning that this was not a manufacturing site,  just a source of materials,  silicified barnacles,  shell, urchin spines, sections of dugong rib etc.  All in all, just the type of place that could keep a fossil hunter on the edge of anticipation...  Enjoy.  Jack

Huh. The crenulations reminds me of some of the horse enamel I’ve seen - but it seems too thick to be horse.  But also horse seems to be the most likely to me!
