mullery7 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 hello guys, I found these stones which look to be some sort of indian axe head possibly and some sort of tool that looks to have used for scraping hides possibly. Also i found these shark teeth and what look to be be some sort of tooth from a dolphin, or reptile. I am not sure and new to collecting. I also found this really cool piece of coal 3 feet beneath a sand bed which has a fossil in the lower right hand corner. I would love any help indentifying these items. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickNC Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The one in the bottom right is a partial sawfish rostral tooth. I see some Squalicorax teeth as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Hello Mullery7, and Welcome to the Forum. Nice finds! Thanks for posting them. Not a huge shark tooth collector myself, but,... This PDF may prove helpful in ID'in your finds. Although, I seem to remeber a NJ hunter on here said the two species of Squalicorax were mixed up- pictures labeled wrong? Maybe Lordpiney, Taxman, or Darwin Ahoy could confirm? Elasmo.com is also a good site for shark tooth ID's. The stone"tool" doesn't look like it's been worked/or is sharp enough for the uses proposed - I'm thinking neat looking rock. Hope this helps! Regards, Edit for additional link.

Interpaleo Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I do not think that is an artifact, just a nice rock...sorry. Look for conchoidal fractures in artifacts. Nice teeth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
