Auspex Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Sorry, but the pictures are too dark to do much with. Can you take some in better light? (That said, the last item looks like it might be the "door" from a box turtle).

Paleoc Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Picture 4 in image set 1 is a Hadrosaur tooth The shark teeth are a mixture of Scapanorhynchus, Squalicorax and Enchodus (fish) Really need to use better lighting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Sadly, I'm not all that up on my shark tooth identification... I say sadly because I collected for years in Florida so literally thousands of shark teeth have passed through my hands. I do, however, think I recognize two of the teeth in Picture 7 in image set 2 as Goblin shark. Note to self: now that winter is setting in... try to research and identify the shark teeth hanging on the walls of my Man Cave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Jmatt, your new photos have been merged with your first topic on these fossils. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k1wb Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Matt Do you collect in the creek or on the sides. If you look on top on the rocks in the creek Where people dump there spoils you can ray teeth and smaller shark teeth Kendal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 nice (and large) hadrosaurine tooth top row, 4th from left on your initial photo. Looks like you're in a mix of cretaceous and pleistocene material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmatt Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 we are finding most of these fossils in the creek. we have been working our way up the creek to see if there are better findings. So far we only found more shark and ray teeth and oyster shells. I think that its pretty neat that this all used to be ocean waters millions of years ago.

Proxestops Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) nice (and large) hadrosaurine tooth top row, 4th from left on your initial photo. Looks like you're in a mix of cretaceous and pleistocene material. I agree. There's definitely a hadrosaur tooth (a good-sized one!), and a piece of a (Cretaceous) soft-shelled turtle carapace. But also an artiodactyl mandible and "cannon" bone. Looks like a mixed Cretaceous/Holocene fauna to me as well. Bob D.
