Harry Pristis Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Wha Happen??Bone Valley got some pics...from a few mine trips. Big teefs from Peace River Hi, Tom . . . Cool dermal denticles and shark and fish teeth! Those readers who are not familiar with Bone Valley should understand that many of the land mammal fossils found in the Peace River are NOT from the phosphate, but are from Pleistocene sediments overlying the most recent Mio-Pliocene phosphate. This is certainly true of the mammal material -- Equus sp. horse, mammoth, tapir -- in Tom's second image. Like most rivers, the Peace produces fossils of mixed age from the various deposits through which the river cuts. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry, I have never collected the mines in BV but i have seen several pictures of smaller horse teeth from the mines i believe they were three toed horse and i have seen a bunch of gomp material. Do most of the mines have Pleistocene gravel beds in them or are these fossils coming out of the Miocene sediments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do most of the mines have Pleistocene gravel beds in them or are these fossils coming out of the Miocene sediments? The latest phosphate, I believe is about 4.5 Ma. That's what you find in the northern reaches of the Bone Valley. There are pockets of earlier Miocene fossils in the phosphate, the earlier the rarer. No Pleistocene gravel beds in phosphate mines of which I am aware. The Miocene and Pliocene of Florida have many species of three-toed horses, most of which resemble small-to-dwarf equid teeth at first glance. I get frustrated trying to sort them out, and consequently I am not good with them. This pair of Calippus teeth is an example of true Miocene teeth from the mines. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Fertilizer remains one of the most significant uses of naturally-occurring phosphates. In South Florida, the phosphate is converted to phosphoric acid and is shipped by tank rail-cars to chemical processors.Are there any black fossils in the Northern France phosphates as from the Ozan Fm exposed on the North Sulphur River in North Texas? No, all the fossils have the same colour (teeth, very few ammonite fragments, sea urchins, belemnite rostra, ...) It's maybe because of the light colored sediments. In the Albian "Gault Clay" of northwestern France and southeastern UK the fossils are black phosphatic casts in a dark sediment rich in the mineral glauconite.

Harry Pristis Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Good thread - we should do this with other forms of preservation too. For instance pyritized fossils take on widely different appearance, speaking of Texas fossils alone. I'm sure there is even wider variation world wide. I for one enjoy collecting the same species in various modes of preservation - very interesting! You've misconstrued the subject and purpose of this thread, Dan. This thread is NOT about any particular form of preservation. It is about fossils recovered from phosphate, however they may be preserved. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
