old bones Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Last summer I finished hunting another batch of Sacha's Peace River pebble matrix, one of my favorites. I found plenty of familiar specimens and a few rare surprises. Here are a few photos to illustrate once again the nice variety of small fossils in the Peace River. If you can further ID any of these, please let me know. I am here to learn.

izak_ Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm no expert, but #1 could maybe be a puffer fish tooth plate? https://www.google.com.au/search?q=puffer+fish+tooth+plate&biw=1366&bih=706&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjPipGamJ7KAhUDMKYKHb0jApYQ_AUIBigB And really nice finds by the way!

sixgill pete Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Juliana, very nice. I think the first tooth you have pictured is a Galeorhinus, not a Hemipristis. Also the third pic (under the first tooth) I think the one on the right is some type of Carcharhinus. the left could be a hemi, but need to see better pics.

I am terrible at IDing shark teeth... I thought I was home safe with Hemis... lol. I am pleased to hear that I have some other species in the mix.

Auspex Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 As far as I know, there is no place else on the internet to see stuff like this, and just a couple years ago you couldn't see it here, either! That thought just gives me chills and warm fuzzies at the same time. Members like you are creating and popularizing new ground from old dirt.

sixgill pete Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Also, Julianna, I think the last shark tooth you posted is a parasymphyseal Hemipristis.

old bones Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Also, Julianna, I think the last shark tooth you posted is a parasymphyseal Hemipristis. Don, I was rather hoping that the last one was a parasymphyseal, and the little bump on the side had me thinking Hemipristis. Here are the amended photos of the teeth in question and one that I had missed for some reason... They are rather river worn, so I don't know if the new pictures will help...Thank you for taking the time to straighten me out on these IDs.

sixgill pete Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 top left and bottom left with these new pics, seeing the roots now, I think are river worm Hemipristis. So you had them correct. Top right is some type of Carcharhinus and bottom right is Galeocerdo.

MarcoSr Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Julianna Great post and pictures. Your large ray tooth looks like a Rhynchobatus. Fish tooth 3 looks like gar, Lepisosteidae. Fish teeth 4 and 5 look like porgies, Sparidae. Marco Sr. "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."

Al Dente Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 This might be a tooth from a very young crocodile or alligator. I find similar ones in the Cretaceous. Here is a close up of modern crocodile teeth that have a somewhat similar shape. Very young modern alligator teeth are similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
