Carlos Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Very interesting stuff, Ì'm gona start to sift more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Teeth etc. All from Cretaceous Blue-hill Shale of Kansas- Fish tooth, fish vert, rhinobatos teeth, and unknown bone in middle of first photo. Unknown "thing" in second photo. Let me know if anyone knows what these unknowns are. Ramo Scale is the same in both photos, and fish vert is about 1mm X 2mm Edited January 11, 2011 by bowkill For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullsnake Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Upper Pennsylvanian-Lansing Group Eudora shale(?) Spring Hill limestone(?) I got excited about trying to extract some of these after reading this,http://www.thefossil...ting-conodonts/, but after realizing how tiny these things are, I'm just not equipped yet. Kansas City group Stark shale Thanks for looking! Edited April 5, 2012 by Bullsnake Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCFossils Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Nice finds everyone. Here is a Nereidavus invisibilis scoleconodont jaw element that i collected last year in the Silurian aged Waldron Shale of Southern Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullsnake Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Nice close-ups. I need to get back to that shale pile. I don't think you've been there, unless you went back after we were in that area. It's actually on the opposite side of the hill from the first stop we made, last time we went. Very first side road going west, on the NE corner. I thought I had pictures, but I can't find them. You might be able see it on Google Earth. There is a nice little exposure of slabs!

Shamalama Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well, they aren't teeth but here are some micro fossils from the Centerfield Limestone: Bunches of stuff that I picked out of my sample: Octonaria sp?

Acryzona Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The first two are from the Ordovician Whitewater formation. Recovered by acetic acid treatment of limestone Conodont Scolecodont Another view (that is the scolecodont inside the zero of a US penny!)

Acryzona Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Dave, That blastoid is a great find. The Octonaria look like it may be crescentiformis species but I'm not sure.

Shamalama Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Cool, I've downloaded that for future use. Thanks Matthew! And that is one tiny jaw to fit within the zero of a penny.

I have some pictures of Devonian conodonts and vertebtrate microfossils from the North Evans LS in Western NY posted on my website: http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~kwilson/Devonian/DevMicros/Micros.htm 1 Karl A.
