Masp Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 @non-remanié @josephstrizhak You guys provide me with a lot of value last time, any thoughts here? Anything cool? I’m really only curious to know what #2, 3, 8 and 15 are. New finds for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Awesome finds! The pictures are somewhat blurry but most finds are easily identifiable. #8 is really nice and is a ray tooth. #2 is a concretion #3 looks like a hunk of iron #15 is either a rock or some invertebrate material, I cannot tell given the photo 1 : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also regarding #3, you don’t think it could be a vert given the strange shape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The ray tooth is a somewhat less common find but I would necessarily call it rare. As for number three, I need some better pictures. From the looks of it that could also be bone. I just need to see the texture better. Maybe it is a very in matrix? I do not know. Maybe some others will be able to offer some more guidance. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not holding the object will help to get better pictures. Place it on a solid colored surface and do not try to get to close. Take the pictures from directly above the piece. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

non-remanié Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I agree with Trevor. 5 is definitely Archaeolamna this time, most other identifiable teeth are Scapanorhynchus. The surface texture of 3 is a bit odd and coprolite-ish but the shape is not right for that. Its not a vert and I'm pretty sure its not a coprolite but better pictures will be more definitive. 1 ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jersey Devil Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 1- yes, a goblin; 2,3- concretions; 4- bivalve imprint; 5- A. kopingensis; 6- S. pristodontus; 7- I. mira; 8- B. wichitaensis medial tooth; 9- it is a concretion with some marks on it. It may be a trace fossil or an invert cast; 10-14, S. texanus; 15- likely a shark vert, but need more pics to be definitive. 1 “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
