Regardless it is still cool, and we now have an idea of what it is. I had not seen tube worms before so I would not have guessed that, I went with familiar shape

Thanks for sharing, and updating.

Thanks Robert! I had never seen one using an echi as a host, so pretty interesting.

I may be wrong but I think your vert is a sawshark(sawfish) also, libby.

Hi, hmmm I will have to look back through my NC vertebrate field guide. Thank you for the info. I have a micro rostral sawfish tooth, I think. I had posteded it a while back with some other things.

My 'puter is giving me the devil this morning, will re-post my comment:

Nice finds, nice pics, very nice report, bad fire ants! Thanks for sharing. I'm seeing a pattern with the forum members about posting trips. Many include terrain/site pictures along with their day's haul. I've got a couple trips coming up, will take site pics with my finds. You've inspired me!

Yep, it was a great adventure! Ant's not so much.....my toe has finally stopped festering from the bites. Look forward to seeing your trips and finds. Thank you for the comments.

What age group is that quarry? Middle Cretaceous?

Don is correct, Eocene. As he stated there is an area of reworked Cretaceuos material. I did find a few teeth in the Cretaceus area. To me the marine Eocene area was the most exciting!
