Williamb55 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Here are some micro finds from a recent trip to a Paleocene site on the Potomac river. The drum tooth is the first drum tooth I have found and it was my second find of the day! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

sixgill pete Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 @Williamb55 The small round button tooth, the one you call drum, is actually Paralbula marylandica. It is an extinct fish from the family Phyllodontidae. Drum are in the family Sciaenidae. Not correct to call this a drum tooth. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
