Troodon Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The Aguja micro vertebrate assembladge is quite diverse. I've attached a few of my finds some identified some misidentified , some unknown . Lots still to identify and photograph so I will keep adding to this topic. Apologize for the quality of photos need to invest in a better digital scope to obtain crisper photos of these tiny specimens. Material is Campanian in age from Texas Dinosaurian Actinopterygii Additional Teeth Amiid Fish Tooth Below, Lepisosteid Tooth Top Chondrichthyes 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, There are sections that are soft sandstone that are easy to work but a good portion is much harder making extraction of thin bones/vertebra very difficult. Everything is so small just very different. Having fun however 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan 1000 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Nice finds! Looks like a great way to hunt when the weather is bad. Almost like hunting for fossild at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like working a channel deposit in Montana but its under a scope and who know what the next piece of matrix you remove will expose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hi Troodon, Interesting stuff. The tooth marked as Protoplatyrhina renae is something else - maybe Cretorectolobus or Squatina. Jess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
