Pterygotus Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The round pebble like things look like phyllodus teeth or teeth belonging to the one of the other bony fishes found there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pterygotus Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 All the vertebrae are most likely fish or shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that’s a shameless I was hoping for a mammal tooth it just seemed to have a larger root than other juvenile shark teeth that I had found 1 hour ago, Pterygotus said: Just curious but did you sieve them out and if so what mesh measurement? Yes i sieved micro matrix out and sorted it at home mesh size 1mm I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Is anyone else having trouble seeing this? When I first opened the page I saw a flash of text written in the original post then it disappears and I get a huge space of blankness. I have to scroll down about 6 or 7 mouse scrolls (desktop) before I start seeing photos, and the first one is only half there. Same thing happens in the next few photo heavy posts. And the text I got a glimpse of is nowhere to be seen. Whazzup? I have seen the same happen to a few other photo heavy posts lately. PS my computer just got upgraded to Windows 10... maybe related?

This happens to me sometimes when on a bad internet source, my phone kind of gives up loading the photos, it’s best to reload the page when in an area with better connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 i will drag my desktop out to the backyard... But I have been viewing TFF from this exact spot for years. Never seen this happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippa Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Is anyone else having trouble seeing this? Well, I can see pictures and a numbered list (to # 7) ... Hard to reply to a thread that seems to overtax the system, but also member's ability to keep track of the sheer mass of unnumbered photos... Anyway, I won't be able to help much, other than that the smallest photo, #10 (I think), looks like a halysite / chain coral to me. to the OP: Best to break up this long thread to make it easier for peeps to respond. And make sure to number your photos, not just the list. Easier still, post each question above the photo of the item you want id'd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew how to split up the photos and number them like that, I would, does anyone know how to ? Sorry for the issues, it’s just that I’m in a different house to normal with bad WiFi which makes it a lot quicker to upload 2 or 3 messages rather than 1 per specimen although if it doesn’t work, I may try that, sorry again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
