FossilsAnonymous Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I packed up my gear and wandered along the Matoakan cliffs for my thousandth time now (that's what it feels like) and had a half decent day. I found two teeth with guesses for both that I want to ask y'all for conformation, and some weird scute type things. Scutes: Tooth One: Thresher? 1/2 inch in size Tooth Two: Baby Meg or Silky? Final Finds Thanks Guys! I may also add that I felt so miffed when someone pulled up a big meg from a clay boulder I was going to go to next. Its like the Shark Tooth gods are against me. What sacrilege have I committed? On The Hunt For The Trophy Otodus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Nice finds! Hopefully the fossils gods will give you a break with the people smuggling what would have been your finds. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan 1000 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Nice finds. Don’t worry, it will be you some day pulling a 6 inch meg out of the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 “Scutes” are pieces from a sand dollar (Abertella aberti), yup on the thresher though I can’t tell which one from the pics, and carcharhinid perhaps silky on the one you guessed to be. Megs from Matoaka, has the world gone mad?

Coco Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi, About sea urchin, how can you give us a species name with so few elements and without a precise place of discovery ?

Coco Very few of them here and this ones the most common, and is very distinctive. He also said he found it at a beach called Matoaka which has many pieces of these. They are very very rarely found complete. “...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...
