Andy B Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I wanted to post a couple pics from this weekend. I found a few teeth and things I am happy with. I could use a verification on the identities though. Thanks for looking!! Andy I think these 2 teeth are both Cretolamna Appendiculata. A very nice fish vertabra? And finally my favorite bivalve to find in the brook. I can't identify it for you though. It reminds me of the giant clam that tried to eat Batman and Robin back in the 60's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy B Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 I forgot to write this one down when I looked it up. Lateral Goblin tooth?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy B Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Lastly, my second Sawfish tooth! Very happy with this one. In the one pic you can see the smaller original one I found a couple weeks ago. This one is a little better specimen even though it too is snapped off.

Darktooth Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Nice finds Andy! FYI, it was brought to my attention recently that Cretalamna appendiculata is not the correct species for this site. I have to find to post which states this. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Datfossilboy's topic Russian sharktooth ID. Anomotodon cited the information given about this. I don't know how to copy and paste with my phone or I would have. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoNoel Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think you're right with the vertebrate fossil IDs (aside from the taxonomic technicality with Cretolamna). Looks like a nice day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The brachiopods are Choristothyris Plicata. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Great stuff and agree with the others on IDs. The vertebra is a shark vert. @Darktooth is right about the Cretalamnas not being appendiculata. Here’s one of the posts where this is discussed: The roots on your teeth might be well enough preserved to be IDd to species level. @MikaelS (main author of the new paper) is the person to ask for a species ID. You’ll need to make some pictures in basal view of the roots of the teeth. 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...
