brachiomyback Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Ahh pincettes! Coco, je suis impressionné par votre collection de fossiles (j'avais besoin d'aide avec Google Translate pour cette traduction). J'ai été recalé français en collège.

jkfoam Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 some more.... A complete clam (unidentified) Snails Arene pergemma Barnacles Keyhole Limpets Diodora nucula Moon Snails Polinices duplicata Predation... The unidentified complete clam may be Nucula sinaria Dall. Now that clam pictured under this one is truly outstanding. Jim 1 The Eocene is my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brachiomyback Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks Jim, They are all pictures of the same clam. I really wish you didn't say that was an outstanding clam..... In my zest to "put it back together", I broke off one of the hinge "tines". ...should have just left them "separated". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hey Brad, Have you found some of the gastropods to be 'containers' for perfect smaller specimens? The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my zest to "put it back together", I broke off one of the hinge "tines". ...should have just left them "separated". Yes, now I see it. Its all in the perspective. They are all the same, LOL. I was looking at it "straight on" and it did present a rather unique hinge, shape. On an aside, the Nucula mauricensis I collect here in the Texas Eocene have a silvery iridescent appearance on the inside of the valve. Do your Nucula show any iridescence?

brachiomyback Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hey Brad, Have you found some of the gastropods to be 'containers' for perfect smaller specimens? Yes, I started culling off the true micro specimens and putting them in separate containers. Already had an a occurrence of a gastropod "rattler" with a micro lost and later found in the swirl.

Jim Yes, definitely has an iridescent surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acryzona Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ah, the joys of micros. You can have the thrill of the hunt any time of the day or night in any weather. Kids enjoy it as their eyesight is keener than us "older" folk. I find that the preservation is often better in micros. Love the serrations on your tiny shark teeth! I read that there are ostracods in the Lee Creek formations but I've never found any in the Auroa samples that friends were kind enough to give me. Keep on eye on Ebay - sometimes you can find a binocular scope at good price (cast off from a school renovation or lab closing). If it is in your area, you don't even have to pay shipping!

Evans Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hey Brad, I've got about 60 ponds of this material in my shed from previous trips to NC for buisness (I have sorted out about 20 pounds already) and this post has motivated be to sort the rest. I need to make room for several trips I have planned this spring. Excellent pics and the IDs have helped me a great deal.

siteseer Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 This is a weird tooth. I think it could be a Prionace (blue shark) upper lateral. If it's Prionace, I would assume it came out of the Yorktown. Some more rarer / unique teeth finds..... Carcharhinus sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
