evannorton Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hi Folks- A couple of little predators revealed themselves over the weekend. A juvenile (tummy tooth worm) and a simple jaw worm. Let me know if you disagree with either of my IDs. Have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evannorton Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks, Mako. If I was in NC, I'd be hunting the much larger predators also. My parents had a freind who was a paleontoloy professor at UNC - that got me hooked on fossiling as a kid - and culminated in a trip to the phosphate mines in NC.

RCFossils Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I would agree that the first specimen is probably a Didontogaster. the second is definately a Fossundecima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Is that the jaw or some other harder part at the top of the 2nd one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evannorton Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hi W: Yes that is the jaw apparatus. For the polychaete worms the jaws are one of the key identification elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
