FFRay Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I went out this past weekend to Aurora to find more fossils and found a few things I am unsure as to what they are. Fossil #1: 29 millimeters in length Fossil #2: 20 millimeters in length. I thought potentially a bird bone but I also saw some catfish spines on Elasmo.com in the Lee Creek section that looked similar to this fossil. Fossil #3: 20 millimeters in length. I thought maybe cetacean or pinniped but I have no clue. The tooth has an odd hook shape that I have never seen on any other cetacean teeth I have found. Fossil #4: 20 millimeters in length. I originally thought it could be a turtle shell but after looking at the patterns I am assuming it is a sand dollar but I am not sure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an Aurora expert, but I do find similar fossils in Florida. I think 1 & 2 are fish mandibles. #3 is a Dolphin tooth, should be Identifiable to species. #4 is definitely a sand dollar but not enough to id to species. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 It is better to put the text under each photo concerned because we are forced to scroll vertically to know what you’re talking about. And a photo numbering also helps with the answers.
