I found this tooth in some Lee Creek micro matrix from Aurora, North Carolina. It measures 6mm. After doing some research, I believe it is a Carcharoides catticus tooth. Can anyone confirm?

Got some Lee Creek micro fossils I could use some help positively identifying. Tooth #1: Rhizoprionodon? Size 6mm Tooth #2: Some type of fish tooth? Tooth #3: Hoping for Rhincodon, but I don't think it is. Maybe a symphyseal tooth? It is laterally compressed though. Tooth #4: Thresher? Tooth #5: Mobula

Got a couple finds from my Lee Creek micro matrix that I could use some help IDing. I’m assuming the first one is some sort of ray or fish tooth. 1. 2.

This is a 1.6 inch blue-enameled Hexanchus griseus (aka gigas) from the famous Lee Creek mine. It is from the Pliocene Yorktown Formation sediments. -

One of my favorite Lee Creek finds, a nice seal jaw with 5 teeth. This must have been a fairly young individual because there is almost no wear on the teeth. -

This is my largest mako (now considered an extinct white shark). It measures 3.16 inches and was found in the Lee Creek Mine Pliocene Yorktown Formation.-

This is my largest Hemipristis tooth. At 2.001 inches it just barely gets me into the 2 inch snaggletooth club! I found it in Yorktown Formation sediments in the Lee Creek Mine, North Carolina.-

I’m going through my collection of unknowns, and came across this little guy. It is a small, ornate vertebra collected from the Pliocene Yorktown Formation at the Lee Creek Mine in North Carolina,, USA. Scale in the photos for size. Bird? Snake? Other? thanks

I found this “sand tiger” tooth in the Miocene Pungo River strata within the Lee Creek mine (Aurora, North Carolina). It does not resemble any other lamniform teeth that I have from the mine, but it does remind me of Brachycarcharias lerechei, an Eocene species. I was thinking it might be reworked. The tooth is 26mm in length, with “wrinkles” on the lingual face @MarcoSr @Al Dente Thoughts?

The tiger shark is still around today. Their unique teeth are very good at cutting through tough turtle shell - their favorite prey. Their teeth also happen to work on about anything else that can fit in their mouths.-

I could not find the date I found the attached amber from Lee Creek (about 26 trips). Had misplaced it (in one of my Miscellaneous bins, instead of one of my Lee Creek bins), but finally located it and is 4 inches long and 3 inches wide and a little over an inch high. I wonder how many, if any, inclusions could be inside?
