Odds And Ends From My Collection

[sixgill pete]

Thought I would post some pictures of the different things in my collection that are not sharks teeth;

Squalodon molar, some croc teeth, a tiny ear bone, two wahoo teeth and an assortment of dolphin/porpoise teeth:

Some of my Lee Creek Whale verts:

two crab claws and an awesome colored dolphin tooth:

a neat coprolite and a beautiful mouth plate:

a piece of rib from GMR, I think it's whale; anyone have any other ideas?

A drawer full of fossil shells:

Two nice sawfish verts from Rocky Point. :

an E. Rugosa depressa from Rocky Point:

Horse Tooth from a local Onslow County quarry:

Seal Tooth from GMR:

a Cylindracanthus from the same Onslow County quarry mentioned above:

a piece of Walrus tusk from GMR, was told it was the base by the guys from the Smithsonian that are at the Aurora Fossil Fest every year:

Nice odds and ends from several locations.

Hi,

an E. Rugosa depressa from Rocky Point:

Please, what is the genus name ?

Hi,

Coco

He means the echinoid Eurhodia rugosa I believe

Hi,

Thanks, Squalicorax

Here is a link to a good french website : http://www.echinologia.com/thumbsirregulierspage10pliolampadidae/imagepages/image8.htm

The shape seen by the bottom side is a little different, but it could be about a morphological variation.

I like dolphin and other whale teeth too. I tend to keep every one I find even if it is beat-up.

That's a nice seal tooth - great condition for such a rare find.

Coco, I was given this ID by another member of the NC Fossil Club. But in looking at your link, it makes me wonder. I am not very astute on echnoids, but I do think they are rather cool when you find one in good shape. Do you have any suggestions on the ID?

Thanks Sharkbyte.

I too like dolphin and whale teeth, I probably have more than a thousand of them. and the seal tooth, man I was stoked the day I found it. It was laying exposed on top of a sand/gravel bar at GMR.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Sixgill pete, I don't know this genus, but here is the page with all the Eurhodia of this website, and diagnosis : http://www.echinologia.com/galeries/cassidulidae/index.html

Yours has a very clear shape, it is doubtless about its normal shape, but it is maybe an adaptation to its environment of life. In any case, it is very probably Eurhodia genus.

Nice assortment of finds!

My mind tends to wander and I couldn't resist.
