Roz,

Wow, I've never seen a Schizorhiza from the US before. I'd heard that someone found one in Texas but no photo was available. Where did you find that?

They are from the Maestrichtain deposits from the Ouachita River.. (Arkansas)

I thought they were found in Texas, Arkansas, and South Carolina...

Barefootgirl, the bigger of the two small teeth is an oral tooth from the sawfish Ptychotrygon triangularis. The smaller one looks like an oral tooth from a different sawfish.

The Ptychodus if from Duck Creek of Texoma would be decurrens. If from POC not so sure.

Thanks Tony. :)

post-2332-073525100 1279989489_thumb.jpg

The one on the left is about 5 mm, the one on the right is 2 mm.

I didn't find them by the way, they were bought online :)

Here are some of my smallest finds.

First one- A Small ant from the Eocene Florissant formation, preserved in volcanic ash. I should re-photograph this specimen with my great macro lens sometime, this was at the very limits of my consumer digital camera. Scale in mm.

Second one- A small beetle shell wing cover (Of the genus Cupedidae) from the Late Triassic of the Newark Supergroup, North Carolina.

What are those things if I may ask?

They are what some people call "button corals"; small Paleozoic solitary corals...I can`t remember the exact name now... :blush:

Real beetles in the Triassic? Uh! I will have to look again to my books... :blink:

Some of my smallest fossils from Antwerp Area.

Enjoy :)

Gerard

First one is not a fish scale as it looks like... It is a Foramminifer of the genus Nodosarioidea (probably Palmula sp.)

Are this fossils from the Miocene?
