ynot Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 First one is a crow shark, not deformed as far as I can see. Second one could be wood , not sure. Third is a ray barb. can not help with the other pieces. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

GeschWhat Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The last two pictures are of spiral coprolites! Very nice! EDIT: While spiral coprolites are generally attributed to sharks, they are other fish species that also have spiral valves. These include (but are not limited to) rays, skates, lungfish, coelacanths, birchirs and a few others.

Al Dente Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Your Ray barb is actually a dorsal spine of a chimaera (ratfish). It's a nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 11 minutes ago, doushantuo said: did someone say spiral coprolite? jaiavol26_copindi_pp813-829.pdf Thanks, doushantuo...I don't think I have read this paper. I have seen the unfolding West African lungfish sketch, but hadn't seen the one for the Australian. I probably shouldn't admit this, but I actually joined an aquarium forum once where they were posting pictures of lungfish poop. I asked if anyone would be willing to send some specimens (dried) so I could take photos at various stages of unwind. I didn't get any takers. I guess my request was a little too over the top, even for those who post pictures!

njfossilhunter Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 You found some super nice poop brad...I'm a little That Chimaera dorsal spin is also a super find ...I have yet to find one myself. and the crow shark tooth is a little pathological ,,but the mammal molar looks to be very old even for the brooks ability to stain things....I'm possibly thinking that it might be a plesitocene tooth,,,what.... I don't know. Well you did great this time out...... TonyThe Brooks Are Like A Box Of Chocolates,,,, You Never Know What You'll Find. I Told You I Don't Have Alzheimer's.....I Have Sometimers.

abyssunder Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 No, sorry. Looks more like Squalicorax kaupi.

caldigger Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Well Brad, you did pretty good for yourself this time out. As you can see by the comments, you've made several long time collectors envious. Keep up the hunt, we like seeing more of the unusual items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
