ynot Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hey Hi Y'All, As some of You should know I won a bag of clay from the Oklahoma permian that Jl340 put up in an auction to benefit the Fossil Forum. After washing the clay off I had about 1/3 cup of matrix to search. As per some advice from Marco sr. -I used a fine screen to sift the material. There were quite a lot of nice little things in it. Here is the first pictures of the things that I found in the micro matrix that I won in the auction. The scale in pictures is a millimeter ruler. Scales... Front and back views. More to follow...

PA Fossil Finder Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Orthocanthus compressus waurikaorthocanthus.JPG I'm not that smart on this fauna just know the Web site to go to http://www.rhyniechert.com/permianwaurika.html There are two different Orthacanthus species from the Lower Permian freshwater deposits of Oklahoma and Texas, Orthacanthus compressus and O. platypternus. Orthacanthus compressus teeth have a thicker, fatter, and rounder root, whereas Orthacanthus platypternus teeth have a thin, flat root. I think the tooth ynot posted is from O. platypternus.

MarcoSr Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks Marco! That is the thread that I read earlier, but now I am more confused than ever. What do You think of this one... aa-0012.jpg aa-0013.jpg or this one... aa-0001.jpg aa-0002.jpg Thanks again, Tony Tony I'm confused also. I'm leaning toward fish for most of these teeth (like your first tooth above) with a few amphibian teeth mixed in. However I haven't seen features that can help you for sure make the determination other than doing a cross section. That being said, the base of your second tooth above is different enough looking from the fish teeth that I think it is something else. Marco Sr. 1 "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."

ynot Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 lastly a couple of bone fragments. I find the texture of the second piece interesting.
