Fossildude19 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 4, 5, and 6 look like shells and maybe a coral, to me.

hemipristis Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 #1/2 is indeed a small tiger, Galeocerdo latidens. #3/4 may be from the genus Carcharhinus, but I'd need a better picture The other two items I agree with Fossildude19: they are mollusk shell fragments 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

PaleoNoel Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 If the first tooth is from Purse it's most likely Pachygaleus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 4 hours ago, PaleoNoel said: If the first tooth is from Purse it's most likely Pachygaleus. When it comes to Eocene/Paleocene teeth, I'll definitely defer to those who know them better than I. Thanks for clarifying With the new photos, I retract my previous suggestion of Carcharhinus for the 2nd tooth. The root Is all wrong, and the blade seems to recurve. Possibly a tiger shark tooth with a chunk missing from the distal area? I'd be interested in others' thoughts. 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
