North Sulphur River Hunt - 8-16-15

[DinoMike]

Went hunting at the now-almost-dried-up North Sulphur River today. Went in quite a way downstream from Ladonia. The lack of water made gravel screening trickier, but I managed. On to the finds! Scale in all photos is a centimeter ruler.

First, some Hamulus squamosus calcareous worm tubes.

Then we have 2 impressions of Inoceramus sp. in shale.

Then we have 2 Exogyra ponderosa oysters.

Labial and lingual views of a shark tooth, possibly Paranamotodon sp.

A fair-sized chunk of Quaternary petrified wood.

Partial Equus tooth:

Possible proboscidean enamel:

Nice finds! Typical N. Sulphur River stuff...always a pleasure to wander around that riverbed.

Your unidentified specimen 1 may be a partial Equus tooth (upper). The unidentified 2 looks like it may be a piece of proboscidean enamel.

Definitely a few fragments of horse tooth. I have a few examples of fossil horse teeth from Texas and the mineralization is similar. They are probably from the lower jaw.
