michaelzzz Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Went to North Sulphur River at Ladonia TX yesterday, found couple fossils need help ID. Thanks in advance. Got chased by flush flood twice. When fossil hunting after heavy rain please be extra careful. 1. mosasaur bone? not sure if there is enough to tell more. 2. claw? 3. fish tooth? 4. mosasaur bone? size: 1 1/2 in. x 1 in. 5. tooth maybe? 6. fish tooth? one side is more round, the other side is close to flat. 7. fish tooth? sharp edges on both side. 8. some kind of clam?

Miocene_Mason Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The claw reminds me of a scaphapod. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like a claw, would have a gliding surface for connection to phalanges I'd reckon. Also wouldn't be hollow. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Harvey Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Number 2 is a Haulus squamosus worm tube. Number 3 & 6 are a fish teeth. #4 is an eroded mosasaur caudal vertebra. #5 looks like mammal to me, possibly Pleistocene equestrian? How did you get so many pictures to load up? I have trouble loading more than one with the data size limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyc Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 #2 is hamulus #5 is way too small for horse, unless it's a fragment or miocene 3 toed horse. Can you post better shots of the chewing surface and all sides? Your fish teeth are very cool! Maybe enchodus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I upload my pictures from phone to google photo then log into google photo using pc and right click save each image. This way i'm able to upload more pictures, but the image quality is reduced. You won't be able to zoom in, when I need more detail, I normally crop the original photo. 1 hour ago, caldigger said: That's what happens when you fossil hunt during half time of the Super Bowl!

You can also get around the data size limit by uploading your picture and then immediately replying to your post with another large picture. The posts will be merged by the software due to the short time between posts. This way, you can ultimately get all of your full size pictures in one post.

JarrodB Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 1 & 4 Mosasaur verts, 2 worm tube, 3 partial fish tooth, 5 partial Pleistocene tooth, 6 & 7 Enchodus teeth, 8 some type of bivalve / clam. I have one just like it from there. Be safe & always watch the weather North of the river. Also watch the river level forecast before going.
