Ramo Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 A couple weeks ago Petrol Pete was up in my neck of the woods, so my wife and I took him out to a few spots to look for something cool. We found a few shark teeth, and fish teeth, along with this section I'm fairly certain is Pachyrhizodus jaw. Forgot to get any pictures of us hunting, but we had a good time, and found some nice stuff. Pete gave me a couple blastoids that seem to elude me whenever I go looking for them, so I was thankful to finally get a couple in my collection. Here's a few pictures from our hunt. Not real sure what that little tooth is in the 3rd picture. Any ideas? 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...
Missourian Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 All nice, especially the partial jaw. While the Niobrara seems to get all the attention, the Greenhorn does provide some nice matrix for specimens. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Excellent finds you have got!!!! Courious on what could that be, as well. Isn't it possible to remove that bit of the matrix over it??? Very cool whatever it is!!! Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Here it is cleaned up a little. Probably just another shark tooth. Ramo 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...

Xiphactinus Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ramo - I wonder if that jaw is an Ichthyodectes. (It's awesome by the way!) The teeth seem too close together for a Pachy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsnake Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 That is really cool stuff! Always good to see your hospitality rewarded. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 You're right on. It is Ichthyodectes. I haven't seen enough of either to be that familiar with them.
