Frogtacos Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I have a lady that wants to buy my tiny collection. I don't know if I have anything special I need to hold on to. Most are dirt road road pick ups, our road is constantly graded with gravel from a local quarry. A couple came from sandbars on the Arkansas River. Wagoner, Oklahoma. I have 10 photos, first here, the rest will be stuffed in on comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Here are some of my thoughts. This one might be worth holding onto- looks like an early shark's crusher tooth, to me. Something like Deltodus, or Petalodus. Your other photos are very dark and blurry. You might take some other pictures of them. All in all, the only cool things that I would keep would be the Archimedes corkscrew, and the possible shark tooth. Regards, EDIT: This one looks like a piece of a rugose coral.

FossilDAWG Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I also thought the first photo might be of a cephalopod, but on closer look I think it is also an Archimedes bryozoan. The "ribs" seem too irregular for a cephalopod; the ones at the top of the photo kind of meander and are not uniformly parallel to the ones at the bottom of the photo. The "ribs" also appear to be finely spinose. I think the "ribs" are sections through the "fan" part of the bryozoan, a little bit out from the central helical stalk.

abyssunder Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 An end view from the top is possible?

Archie Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I agree with Tim on your third pic, that's the tooth crown of the holocephalian Deltodus or something very similar like Sandalodus, that's a really nice and good sized specimen I would definitely hang on to it and try and carefully dig the rest out, great find! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 9 - (#10) Looks like traces of clams produced on carbonate hardground, similar to Petroxestes isp. (Petroxestes pera) made by Modiolopsis. https://www.google.com/search?q=Petroxestes+pera&biw=1360&bih=612&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiR4sOU8LPLAhXEQZoKHTpZApUQsAQIKA#imgrc=_Unfortunately the newly posted picture of the first fossil is blury, so I can't conclude.

Twinlukers Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 cephalopod Is my guess. From pieces I have yours looks like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrobento Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Archimedes for the second pic. The 7th pic is a tabulata coral, probably favosites Pedro Bento, M.Sci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
