Hello everyone. I just found out about these forums and so trying my luck on a couple mystery pieces that I have. I'm really excited to participate on the forum as we have been hunting for a year and have been on both US coasts, Sharktooth Hill and have had some great finds along the way. Fossil (pictures of the black piece) - My Fiancée found this in Venice, FL a few weeks ago. It is clearly bone based on the side view. The "bottom" side is flat with a couple of "scratches in it". The other side is very clearly ridged with 6 protruding parallel ridges. This piece was broken off on both sides, so I don't know if it had more ridges as a complete piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cartilage (pictures of the white piece) - (size of a nickel) This is not a fossil and my guess is part of a crab or something similar, but I've been unable to find a graphic to confirm it. It does have small ridges along the top of the "V" and it is not a symmetrical piece. My guess is this is something that many have seen before and someone will recognize it. Thank you in advance for the help and support. Derek and Sarah

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale I was cracking Phosphatic concretions and this baby popped out! I was excited and thought I should share and ask what it is! I believe it is a cartilaginous fish spine, but I have little knowledge in such topics. Ps Information on good glue to glue together the cracked piece is welcomed!

Multiple Phosphatic Nodules from Muncie Creek Shale that I could not Identify ( Missouri )
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale Specimen 1: Fish Coprolite? 1.8cm (nodule size) Specimen 2: Coprolite? 2cm (nodule size) Specimen 3: Fish Mandible? (2.6cm) Specimen 4: Coprolite or Maybe Braincase (I think it is very unlikely that it is) 2.8cm Nodule size 1.5cm (fossil size) Specimen 5: (2.9cm) Note: The placement of the fossilized material might be wrong as this was one of my first nodules and the fossilized material fell out. I recovered what I could. (Opened roughly 2 months ago) Specimen 6: Tessellated Cartilage with some Skin impressions ? (2.5cm) Specimine 7: Fish material? Thank you for reading and viewing this, I hope I can better understand these images so I can use them as references in the future! -

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian most likely Raytown, Wyandotte Limestone Formation I have collected a lot of concretions and here are a few of which I have no idea what they could be My possible hunch is that some of these could be Fossilized Cartilage? Was really interested in knowing what this one was

Treasure trove of Mississippian Sharks found in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky!
Fossildude19 posted a topic in Fossil News
Scientists have found a treasure trove of Mississippian shark fossils in Mammoth cave, Kentucky. ARTICLE HERE. Quote: "Based on what was exposed in the cave wall, Hodnett said the find includes a lower jaw, skull cartilage and several teeth. Hodnett determined the shark belonged to a species called "Saivodus striatus" from the Late Mississippian period, about 330 to 340 million years ago. @Archie "More than 100 individual specimens have been discovered during the project. Hodnett said teeth and dorsal fins of other shark species are also exposed in the cave ceiling and walls. "We've just scratched the surface," Hodnett said. "But already it's showing that Mammoth Cave has a rich fossil shark record." Pictures from article:- 9 replies
