Searcher78 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 This is the first time that I am searching for micro fossils from Matoaka beach, Maryland (Miocene). I found a few of these and don’t know what they are. Unfortunately a few are lost forever in my carpet. 2mm in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 A fish tooth-Pinfish or Lagodon. Really cool little find. 1 2 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Agreed. The forked teeth are distinctive. I once lost an important micro-fossil in my office. Luckily no carpeting. I had to carefully sweep everything in to a pile and weed through the dust bunnies but I did finally recover the tiny tooth. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter accidentally knocked over my bowl of micro teeth. Just gives me a reason to get more sand to search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
