michaelzzz Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Another trip to north sulphur river and few more mysteries....Thanks in advance. 1. fish vert? 2. fish vert? (concave on both sides) 3. Stratodus jaw fragment? (1 1/4 inch) 4. coprolite or geo? 5. mystery bone with what appears to be tooth marks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarrodB Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 1. I would say most likely fish. 2. A very nice fish vert. 3. A very nice startodus jaw section. I found my only one a few months ago. They are not common finds. 4. Not coprolite 5. Fish probably fish rib section. Nice finds buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I second @Nimravis I always end up having to pick up my jaw after these NSR posts, and these have made me do the same! “...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...
GeschWhat Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 From what I can see, #4 is too granular to be a coprolite. My best guess is a burrow or some sort of conglomerate.

fifbrindacier Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Nice finds, indeed. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

Plax Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 really like your Stratodus. It is reminiscent of the slightly toothed base of early Cylindracanthus rostral spines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in doubt, I always pick them up, too. A lot of times I can't tell what I have until I get them under the microscope.
