mattbsharks Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 These first two fossils I picked up while hiking mountains in the negev desert in Israel. I think one of them is a sea shell with a barnacle on it. I'm not sure about the other tubular one. The final one is what I believe is some sort of mako.

mattbsharks Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 that last picture is blurry but I think that is a barnacle on the right and I am fairly sure it is a seashell very worn shark tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 misread the title and just realized that the shark tooth isnt from Israel. Crossed out until I rewrite my pos Could be an upper front lateral mako or hastalis tooth. But I'm kinda loose on this because as farfetched as it sounds, it looks so much like a cretoxyrhina tooth, thought you probably found this in a cenozoic zone. Also, i think the tubular thing could be a coprolite? If im seeing the right one. Also, on the first picture theres a tiny fish spine on the bottom of the rock if you didn't notice. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Don't know what fossils come out of the Negev desert but I think that it's a nautiloid with another cross sectioned at the bottom of the rock. “...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...
