Tennessees Pride Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Mam, your pictures didn't come through with your post, please repost them. --- Joshua tennesseespride@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessees Pride Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 If you may be having trouble, there is a FAQ section on the main Forum page, click that, and one of the sections in it kinda helps explain how to attach pics w/ posts....maybe try loading 1 pic at a time. If that's not it, when you click to add a pic to this post, there is another button you can try (after hitting that more reply options button), when it opens, at the bottom left of the screen on the post you are making, there is one called "try the basic uploader"....that may work for you... --- Joshua tennesseespride@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessees Pride Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thank you!! My 6 year old nephew and I are discovering the world of fossils together and he'll be excited to know about which tooth goes with what shark. Laura I'm very glad to assist you Laura, i live about 88 miles from that creek and find Goblin shark teeth often up here.....can't wait to get my feet wet @ 20 mile!!! There is a free pdf file you can download that will greatly help you....google it...it's A field Guide to Frankstown....i think is the name of it....by the Mississippi Dept. Of conservation. That should be enough to pull it up on the search on the first page....your nephew will love looking @ that! i'll look @ my copy and see about your other finds right quick, but somebody will probably beat me to the i.d..... 1 --- Joshua tennesseespride@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessees Pride Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Okay, i reviewed the guide to Frankstown, pic#2 appears to me to be a Otodus appendiculatus, pic #1 is alittle harder to determine, but from what i can tell by the size and shape (as long as it's whole), it appears to be the small unidentified Crocodillian species listed in the guide.....outstanding finds! Congratulations!....that first one really makes me jealous..... 1 --- Joshua tennesseespride@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshunter Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hi and welcome to the Forum. Pictures 2-4 are Scapanorhynchus ( ska-pan-or-rank-us) texanus, #2 is a lateral (side tooth) while the others are anterior teeth (front). The first object, I don't have a clue but interesting. After hunting the Cretaceous deposits in Texas for some 35 years I have specimens that are still unknown. Thanks for sharing and keep hunting, 20 mile creek , a lot of area to cover----Tom A group of anterior and lateral teeth from the Sulphur river in Texas 1 Grow Old Kicking And Screaming !!"Don't Tread On Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your help Foshunter and Tennessee Pride! Your sure welcome mam, and if it come to find out isn't Crocodilian, i hope somebody can i.d. correctly for you. This is a great group of very knowledgeable people, so your in the right spot.
