Wolf89 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I dug in the Pits of Pungo out front of the Aurora Fossil Museum for a few hours. Heres the haul. The shark teeth Phosphate nodules Coral Sea life burrows. Posterior lemons and coppers These teeth are sooo small I don't even know why I picked them up Bryazoa...? My favorites Some of those famous Aurora makos ( isurus oxyrinchus I think) What I think are posterior isurus oxyrinchus's though the one in the middle one looks like it has a burlette? meg? I would appreciate any feedback on these Two nice Hemipritis Double cusped carcharhinus taurus? Alligator claw core? Bird? Sea urchin spines ray teeth Fish/shark verts and partials. I would appreciate if someone s=told me the difference two of them stuck together Bone frags whale verts and frags Shells Can someone help ID them? I can't seem to find any papers or websites I also spent all my birthday money on their little gift shop. Heres what I got from there. I would be happy for any IDs for them. (I like things labeled) Dont know where from St. Claire. PA fern. What is the age and formation of this locale? Morrocan trilobite pyrite amethyst this is definitely my longest post even though its just pictures mostly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anomotodon Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Nice collection! By the way, small teeth are usually the most interesting, small sharks display the greatest variety of shapes - crushing Heterodontid teeth, various carcharhinids, carpet sharks (Orectolobids), angel sharks, sawfish oral teeth, various rays etc. These should be Alopias (thresher sharks) The Tooth Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The Pits of Pungo not only make for a nice alliteration, but also appear to be extremely productive, which makes for a triple alliteration: The Productive Pits of Pongo Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Monica Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 FIrst of all, happy birthday to you, @Wolf89! Now on to my attempts at helping you with a couple of your identification requests... I think that the trilobite below is Flexicalymene ouzregui from Morocco: And perhaps Gerastos granulosus from Morocco for the trilobite below?

MikeR Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 For the shells download the pdf for the "Geology and Paleontology of the Lee Creek Mine, North Carolina II" LINK. Use Ward and Blackwelder's descriptions and figures for the James City Formation.
