sharko69 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Finally purchased a new microcope and went to town on some matrix from Post Oak Creek. This was not the richest matrix I have brought home but it did yeild a few firsts for me however and is miles easier to use than iPhone microscope and I think the lighting and pictures are better as well.

sharko69 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Dermal denticles. These are the first I have ever found at Post Oak. Is there any way to tell what they came from? Edited April 20, 2015 by sharko69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharko69 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have no idea what this can be. Any guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bone2stone Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Last pic looks similar to a Lingula. Yours are micro these are not. Have you found any of the "mass" specimen matrix? FILLED with micro "stuff". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharko69 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thank you. They are very similar. Are those Texas finds? I have several bags from all over but really like to pick through local stuff I pick up myself. Sometimes i get lucky, other times not so much. I am strange that way.

John Hamilton Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Unknown teeth? I beleive the first tooth is from a Hybodont shark. Most likley Meristodonoides sp. Need to see more views of the second tooth. Edited April 20, 2015 by John Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hamilton Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Nice little tooth. This could be a Cretoxyrhina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharko69 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I am thinking Cretoxyrhina as well I have found several small ones like that in this matrix before. Thank you for the feedback. I am going to go back through my old finds now with the new microscope and try to get better pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
