River Falls, AL - Lisbon Fm., Eocene

Recommended Posts

Hello! I just completed my second trip out to Point A Dam in River Falls, AL and found a couple of interesting things that I cannot seem to ID. Due to traveling, I only took a few pictures and had to use a coin for scale before moving to my next destination, so I apologize for the lack of quantity and quality of my photos. When I get time, I can take more images of the samples below upon request. Thank you!

 

1: I’m leaning toward Angel shark (?)

2: Legitimately do not have a clue… Maybe stingray related as it is long and cylindrical but it has confounded me. It does have a hole through the center that was difficult to image, presumably for soft tissue.

3: Once again, I don’t have a clue. The bottom of these pieces are smooth and concave below the central “peak.”

4: Miscellaneous pieces. Very well could be nothing but figured I may as well post them.EA04E423-1E70-492D-B8D7-57185303A9BE.thumb.jpeg.34cea1af749c4873fa78929a03a579b1.jpeg

The first one is Orectolobus ziegenhinei. The second is Cylindracanthus and the third are boxfish dermal plates.
