Eocene of central Mississippi, today.

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.

Nice collection. Are you just surface collecting? Do you dig and sift?

@automech Sorry for the delayed response. 

 

At this particular site; I am surface collecting, as fossils are exposed by the weather.  Fortunately, this site isn't overgrown by grass; which is due to human activity.

 

After 10 visits; 99% of what I have found, has been small shark teeth and ray plates.  I am told this site is Eocene, and probably early / lower Eocene.
