Auspex Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Some good heartbreakers guys! There's heartbreak, and there's heartbreak : Cretaceous toothed bird jaw? Nope: Cretaceous shark spine!

Mike Owens Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 There's heartbreak, and there's heartbreak :Cretaceous toothed bird jaw? Nope: Cretaceous shark spine! That's this isn't it? I don't remember you finding out what is was, but then at my age I'm lucky to remember my own name.

Are shark spine's rare? Yeah, turns out to be a fragment of an Hybodus dorsal spine. Live & learn (hard to reign-in my hopes and dreams sometimes...this was a good lesson).

Frank Menser Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Ok...was hunting the pond when I found this big Mosasaur tooth. looked perfect till I picked it up and cleaned off the mud, which is when I found the tip and one side were mostly denuded of enamel. To rub it in, two other teeth were found of which this was the least perfect. Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmorefossil Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 ok that tooth doesnt count! unless the other side is missing like a big chunk...... thats one nice tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 On a solo excursion a few years ago, I looked up along a 20' bank and saw this... Yeah, I was excited! I bet I took 20 pics in situ...and then the moment I was going to pull this beauty from the bank. As I held my breath, And then there was the time I was looking in a hole for a mammoth skull, but it wasn't there....

Auspex Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Real sorry about the point, but I think that your second example is more of a heart attack than a heart breaker!

beachbum Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Mrs.beachbum and I were searching a field,with the owners permission, looking to see if this would be a nice spot for future hunts. This particular day was not to far from our fall trip to Aurora. Mrs.beachbum was commenting on what it would be like to find a large tooth laying about on the ground,just like some of the posts that we've read on the forum. No sooner did she finish the comment , I turned to her and asked"like this?" And there laying on it's side on a dirt road was this large tooth. I guess I didn't chant enough,'cause as you can see it's not quite all there. Maybe next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is ridiculously unfair, but I would be thrilled to find the tusk with or without a skull attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 This is a partial pygidium of a trilobite. It is an un-described genus/specie. I have found 13 cephalons, a few hypostomes, and 3 partial pygidiums. One of these days it will be published. The diagnostic characteristics are in the cephalon.
