JimB88 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Been out twice since my last trip report, heres some of what I found... from the Bangor Limestone, Upper Mississippian east Tennessee half of a Helodus tooth A large Rugose coral with a tiny shell on it... I think its a tiny spififerina..not sure if it was attached there or just happened to rest there upon death... A little Spiriferina replaced with clear calcite... And from the Pennington formation (also Upper Mississippian but a little younger than the Bangor which it overlays.) I dont find many teeth from there, so I consider myself fortunate to find two partial Deltodus... front: Back: and a neat little Ornithachia snail... Thats all until further prepping, I have one ufo in the fossil id section and another I will be adding after prep/repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Jim Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Your UFO is a mystery to me. I am curious to hear the ideas. Good finds on the teeth, it is always exciting to find where a little more unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
