Loki Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Can you all see this quartz tooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I can see your pictures but, unfortunately, I'm not seeing any teeth in your collection. I'm seeing some suggestively-shaped stones and pebbles. -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Sorry to say, I see no teeth in any of your items. They all appear to be roughly suggestivly shaped rocks. No enamel, no root, only triangular shapes to rocks. I believe the area you are looking in would be much older sediments to likely hold the kind of teeth such as you might be thinking these are. Try to find the area you got these from on the map and compare the geologic timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Welcome to the Forum. They are all just suggestively shaped rocks. Regards, EDIT: As Caldigger stated, Pennsylvania has lots of Paleozoic strata. Teeth found are usually fish teeth, like Hyneria. The Mesozoic strata in the south eastern part of the state is more known for tracks, fish, and plant fossils.

Kane Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Sadly, not a scute. This seems like a very weathered piece of possibly sedimentary rock. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Not a mummified bird head. The good news is that Pennsylvania is a very fossiliferous state with incredible geologic diversity, and so changing where you collect may very well change your fossil fortunes. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Depending on where you are in PA, you could be finding either Devonian invertebrates or vertebrates - (Red Hill), or Carboniferous era plant fossils. There are some exposures of Triassic/Jurassic outcrops, but they are few, and far between. LINK1 LINK2 The second link's information is very old, and very likely no longer accurate. You might consider joining a rockhounding club in PA, to learn what to look for, what fossils look like, and how to go about hunting for fossils. Good luck.
