abyssunder Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The big one in question might be Nipa, but pictures from more sides may be more convincing. Nice gastropods, BTW!

Wrangellian Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Can't help with IDs, but these smaller items might look better in Riker mounts. Are they available over there? (or something like them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 In the first photo, the two small gastropods look like periwinkles or dog winkles. Let me pry my Pliocene shell ID materials open when I get back home (I'm on lunch break at work, lol). I wish I could help with the fish verts, but my fish expertise only goes back to the Miocene.

Notidanodon Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 here are some close ups of some of the 2.pyritized gastropods and some 4.crocodile bones from hell creek,any ideas 5.i know that the middle one is otudus obliquus, what are the others (eocene from khourigba mine i think?) 6. eocene shells from paris basin (one trigonomista?)

At the maker's website they're affordable, but I don't know if they ship internationally. If they do, seems like someone could go into business being the supplier for the UK or whatever country.. They do sell boxes-full wholesale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on these "sand tiger" teeth. They're the Carcharinids of the Eocene when it comes to identification: I tried with these, but never felt comfortable with any of my IDs without additional photo angles.

Notidanodon Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 i ended up having around 10 species in there when i thought i had like 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Eocene teeth are not my forte. I feel more comfortable with the Mio-Pliocene Carcharhinids, and that's saying something! 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
