  1. A little over a week ago I flew to Memphis and then drove down to Tupelo, Mississippi to spend two days collecting at the nearby Blue Springs fossil site, Upper Cretaceous, Ripley Formation, Coon Creek Member. It was my fourth trip there in the past two years. Weather was decent- 65 degrees the first day, 55 the second., a mix of sun and clouds both days. The site was very mucky the first day there, but it dried up for the most part by the second. The first time I visited there, the surface collecting was excellent. Not so much the last three times and this time was exceptionally poor. So, as you can see from the photo, I did a lot of digging. The softer material near the top did have fossils, but normally they crumpled as soon as they were exposed. One particular small nautiloid that was original shell material and mostly gold color was especially heart breaking. As I dug deeper, more intact fossils appeared in the now tougher marl, mostly mollusks with at least some shell material though much of it came off when the rock split.
  2. It was too cool and windy, for 2 hours of walking and looking for surface finds in a great wide open area 2-4-24; but I guess I heard that old siren's call again?

    Please help identify this rock

    I'm not sure I am doing this right since this is my first post. I want any feedback on these rocks that remind me of seashells'. Each pic is of a different rock. The 1rst, 2nd, & 4rth rocks are the size of my palm, the 3rd is nickel size. The 4rth rock has alot going on_zoom in on the areas pointed out with the pink arrows...Thnx

    Need help identifying please,

    I’m no expert but from the looks of the Porous surface, I’m thinking some type of bone, can anyone please help my identify this please also is there a way to tell what era from the color?
  5. I recently acquired this ammonite that is from near Tupelo, Mississippi. Looking for any species identification or other information regarding this specimen. Thank you!
  6. It was tougher finding fossils, today. It's getting harder and harder, to find surface exposed fossils in this location. I guess I have combed this site, pretty well? Counting every little bit and piece; i found 42 little shark teeth today, and nothing else. Here are the best 17 teeth, of those found. This site has produced hundreds and hundreds of small Sand Tiger and Mackerel shark teeth, and numerous small sting ray teeth. Probably two thirds of the shark teeth here, have just been broken pieces.

    Eocene Shark Tooth ID

    I have a single shark tooth from an Eocene Cook Mountain Formation location in Newton County, Mississippi. I would like confirmation or correction on the ID, please. My best guess is Striatolamia macrota, but I could easily be very wrong. Unfortunately about half the root is missing and I'm not sure whether a nutrient groove was present of not. The blade is clearly not serrated. Total height is a hair under 2.1 cm and restored width is estimated at 2.1 cm also. Any and all help would be appreciated. Here are three pictures to show the shape (scale bar divisions are cm): And here is one close up view of the one remaining cusplet: Thanks for looking. Mike

    Is this humerus? Or is it a tibia?

    This came out of a box of fossil bone I received from a fossil hunter out in eastern Mississippi. The only story I got with them was that they were found on the Eutaw Formation and Tombigbee Sand, and collected across Lee, Monroe, Itawamba and Chickasaw counties. These bones are a huge mix of Cretaceous and later material. I found some fossil mammal teeth mixed in, including what looks like a chip of mastodon tooth. So, they were all mixed together in the box. Because I’m a fan of impossible tasks, I’ve taken to trying to ID and catalog some of the material. Out of this box I pulled this bone—it looks to be the worn proximal head of either a humerus or tibia. My next question would be—is there a way to determine a Cretaceous dinosaur from a Pleistocene mammal? I know you can sometimes tell based on the growths of the trebacular bone, but that I’m still learning. You’ll probably see me on this sub-forum a lot as I refine my search image. I took…a myriad of photos. Inside and outside, with tape measure. I can take more detailed photos on request. Maybe I can get some light shed on this while learning something new. Thanks for your time. I may have had some trouble uploading the photos and video, I’m doing this on my phone with a cracked screen. I can post more detailed photos in comments if necessary.

    Mississippi Jawbone

    Hi, I’m new to the forum. Found this last month. Any ideas as to what type of animal it was? Specimen is fossilized. Gravel bar on Mississippi River in low water condition (water level -3 ft.). Found at surface. St Louis county, Missouri
  12. Hi all, I have some teeth I'd like some input on. Sorry for the photos, working on improving my current photo setup. First, these teeth from the Demopolis formation of Mississippi (Late Campanian). I'm guessing Serratolamna for some of them but they are a bit different than the typical ones from here. They're quite variable teeth. Tooth 1: Tooth 2: Tooth 3: Tooth 4: These teeth are from the Moodys Branch Formation of Hinds County, Mississippi (Eocene, Bartonian). Tooth 5: Hypotodus verticalis? Tooth 6: Brachycarcharias lerichei? Tooth 7, 8: Abdounia enniskilleni? Thanks for taking a look. I appreciate any thoughts.
  13. I didn't realize I had the back side of the ray teeth, facing up? I guess I got in a hurry?
  14. Hi everyone. I was up in northwest Pennsylvania a few days ago seeing some friends and found this wild thing on their property. It's not my usual hunting grounds and I wasn't particularly looking for fossils at the time, so I never bothered to do research on the area. What I can tell you is that it was found in northern Crawford County, PA, which I believe is Devonian (but may also be Mississippian). Nearby were some brachiopods in sandstone. If extra pictures are needed, just let me know. Please help!
  15. It was crazy hot, and humid today. I could only stand it, for a little while. I kept these; and I donated the rest to a 69 year old, first time fossil hunter. The white bone, is modern.

    Fossilized leaf?

    Hi could this possibly be a fossilized leaf? Or is it just my imagination. Found it in a creekbed near the Mississippi in Northern Missouri. Thanks in advance!

    m3 molar? Needs ID

    Downloaded from Facebook. This tooth was found alone the banks of the Mississippi river. Is it just a very worn cow m3? I don't know if any other ungulate would have a stylid? It just seems oddly shaped for cow/bison to me.
  18. I was wondering if there are fossils along the Mississippi in Iowa? I am going there soon and wanted to hunt!

    Cretoxyrhina?

    These came from a Cretaceous site in Mississippi. One looks like it could be Scapanorhynchus and the other looks like Cretoxyrhina, am I correct?
  20. Last weekend I found a few fairly small pieces of fossil, and I am not entirely sure on their identifications, but I have guesses. Location: Mississippi creek. (I am unsure on how much to share location-wise, in regards to name of creek, etc.). This area is outside of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I thought the first one was a piece of wasp nest until I felt it. Some sort of coral? The second is perhaps also coral? The last one perhaps a crinoid stem? I do note there is a circular fossil next to it. The last one looks pretty distinctly like a shell impression. Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated. I keep doubting myself when I think I've figured them out.
  21. Good evening, everyone. Does anyone have any book recommendations for fossil identification in general, but particularly for Mississippi or the Gulf Coast of the United States? I have Roadside geology of Mississippi, and it's been a great resource for some elements, but I'm looking for something a bit more detailed. Thank you! Jenn
  22. Being stationed in Southeast Mississippi and curious about good fossil locations in Mississippi and Alabama.
  23. At least 415 individual shark teeth; although many are very small and / or broken. None are pristine; but they are fossils, and all were found in a few hours, by little ol' me. I hunted until I was worn out, from walking and bending over to pick them up. A few tiny pieces of ray plates, too.
