Troodon Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Hell Creek Fm.? Do you have a locality where these came from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svcgoat Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 @Troodon Perkins County SD however its possible that a shark tooth found its way in there that shouldn't be I had these in a little baggy for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svcgoat Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 However all the non shark teeth are for sure from Hell creek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassicbro238 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 If that's the case, then the ammonite (#4) might be important. I don't think the ammonite fauna is very well known from Lancian sites. #7 reminds me of a snail though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I have my doubts that this material is HC, might be Fox Hill Fm 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoNoel Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 13 hours ago, Troodon said: I have my doubts that this material is HC, might be Fox Hill Fm Marine fossils may suggest that it's from the underlying Fox Hills. Either the fossils were reworked into typical Hell Creek sediments, or the locality where these fossils were found is within the FH on the same ranch, where Hell Creek is probably more of the focus for hunters. Alternatively it could be from a marine tongue of the Hell Creek such as the Breien Member known from North Dakota. The twitter thread linked below talks about the mosasaur remains found in this member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Sure anything is possible but that member is more North and East of where these were found. Still more unlikely than likely @PaleoNoel but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svcgoat Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 Confirmed with the person I got it from that it is Fox Hill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svcgoat Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 It was just lumped in with Hell Creek material from the ranch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still more unlikely than likely @PaleoNoel but who knows. Indeed, I'm not suggesting that it's necessarily Breien mb., rather another marine tongue, however I think it's more likely that the site was FH or reworked.

Person I got the specimens from said its FH that he put in a box of HC stuff hence my confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
