jpc Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 coco... a quote in English is equal to a 'citation' en francais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Hi, OK @JPC but what I don’t understand is where that quote came from and why it’s there. Are you suggesting that OP put it in without knowing how he ended up there? Possible...

Fin Lover Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 @Coco, those are commonly used/popular quotes in the U.S., so I am guessing he saw the Quote button and misunderstood what it was for, so he added some quotes that he likes. That's just a guess, but I've seen hospital employees where I work that add quotes they like to their professional email signatures (which seems unprofessional to me), so maybe we use quotes more in the States.

Brandy Cole Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I'm not familiar with that area or era, but could this be a worn belemnite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I took the liberty of converting the .HEIC files to .JPG. @Brandy Cole The area is Pliocene/Neogene, so, Belemnites are a no-go. Aurora, NC. Looks more like a cetecean tooth to me. Maybe @Boesse can chime in.

james1984 Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Im James, and have recently dove into fossil hunting after spending several nights reading and researching I ended up choosing Aurora NC for my 1st Trip. Then on my way home we hit the infamous GMR. (People have destroyed parts of that creek) Anyway, I found this piece either in Aurora nc digging the pits or the GMR on the way back home. I'd hit both locations that weekend and didn't think anything of it. Then after getting home and looking through what I'd found that weekend, this piece is the only one to me that's unidentifiable. 20231025_112815.heic 20231025_112724.heic 20231025_115734.heic 20231025_115754.heic 20231025_120033.heic 20231025_115904.heic 20231025_120109.heic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE, post images in .JPG format, ... NOT .Heic ! I got it now. My 1st time navigating on here as far as posting. Normally I'm on forums for acquiring information and looking but decided to finally post. And posted the 2nd time not knowing the 1st post even went through Monday. And after posting tonight I then realized the picture problem along with the 1st post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 This very much strikes me as being consistent with GMR preservation. Not sure what it is - it's a tooth root, and looks a bit like an archaeocete at that - but could come from any number of cetaceans with double rooted teeth or perhaps even a land mammal. Identification further than that is probably speculative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
