Dan 1000 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 G'day everyone! Around a week ago, I received a package of micro matrix from Rattlesnake Creek (Aged late Miocene?), generously given to be by the amazing @GeschWhat. I have only gone through the matrix but was not disappointed. The micro matrix was packed full of shark, ray and fish material, as well as a couple of small bones. Here is some photos of my finds. I have attempted to ID some and left others. If you can ID some of my finds, it would greatly appreciated. All of my current finds Shark teeth (Unknwon ID) Ray Teeth Unknown bone (Mammal?) Lagodon teeth Rhynchobatus? Unknown fish material Thanks for reading! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeschWhat Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 You made quick work of that, Daniel! I believe Rattlesnake Creek material can range between the Miocene and Pleistocene. For your records, this material was collected by @Sacha. I want to say the round crusher tooth is from a pycodont.

Miocene_Mason Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 The shark tooth in the top left is a Physogaleus contortus and the rest are carcharhinids. Your ray teeth are Myliobatis and Aetobatis. 3 “...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...

ynot Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 From top left.... 1) Galeocerdo aduncus 2, 4 , 7 and 9) Carcharhinus cf isodon or Carcharhinus brachyurus 3) Carcharhinus brachyurus 5 and 12) Negaprion eurybathrodon 6, 8 and 10) Carcharodon hastalis 11) Not sure on this one.

Unknown fish material Nice specimens. Shark Teeth. The first tooth looks like a tiger (Galeocerdo). The rest of the teeth look like Carcharhinus sp. although there could be a couple of Lemon shark teeth in there (Negaprion) especially the last tooth. Ray Teeth. The first four look like Aetobatis teeth from the lower dental plate. Then Myliobatis or Rhinoptera medial teeth or Aetobatis teeth from the upper dental plate . Agree with Lagodon teeth. Agree with Rhynchobatus teeth. Agree two of the three specimens are fish teeth. The middle specimen looks more like a crab claw tip. Marco Sr. 4 "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."
