Help needed for identifying Aurora fossils


FFRay

Recommended Posts

 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.

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.

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.
