Aurora NC Pungo ID's

[gturner333]

I purchased some bags of matrix from the Aurora Fossil Museum and have been having a lot of fun searching through them. It is Miocene, the Pungo River formation. However, I have some that I could use some help with on ID'ing. The hash marks are 1mm:

 

- Is the first a Sevengill shark tooth or just a broken edge of a serration?

- Is the 2nd pic of croc teeth?

- The 3rd looks like dermal denticles, but the big one also looks kind of like the start of a barnacle.

- what kind of teeth are in unknown2.jpg?

- what kind of teeth are in unknown1.jpg?

- are these teeth enchodus?

- the last two look like pycnodont teeth. Some are concave on the bottom and the others are convex. Are they both/either/neither pycnodont?

 

Thanks for your help.

1 Is a whole shark tooth (but not hexanchus). sorry but I can not remember which shark.

3 are all dermal denticles

the rest are fish teeth.

 

Nice finds.

Hi,

 

The last one could be sparidae tooth (sea bream ?).

The first tooth looks like Galeorhinus. The second picture, second tooth looks like fish tooth but the first tooth might be fish or the crown of an odontocete tooth. Third picture is dermal denticles. The rest are fish teeth. There are some drum teeth in the seventh picture. You won't find Enchodus or pycnodonts in this material, it is not old enough.

Thanks. That one does look like a Galeorhinus. Any ideas as to what kind of fish or are they just "bony" fish?
