Strepsodus Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi. Here is my best vertebrate find. It's a Helodus affinis shark tooth from the Pennine Middle Coal Measures formation (Upper Carboniferous.) I found it in West Yorkshire, UK. I don't think this species has ever been found in West Yorkshire, and I think this is the first shark tooth to be found in West Yorkshire for many years. I found it on Saturday, 2nd of July 2016.

ricardo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Beautiful specimen Ricardo Obrigado Filipe! Foi sorte no meio de muita insistência... são difíceis de encontrar e em boas condições ainda mais Os afloramentos são escassos e aparece no seio de uma matriz relativamente dura. Agora tenho que arranjar um Heterodiadema ouremense em condições similares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eu em termos de espécies de equinodermes não tenho muitos conhecimentos, só recentemente estou a consultar umas publicações para tentar identificar os que possuo. Digo isto em relação aos do Cretácio e Jurássico porque em relação aos do Miocénico já estou mais familiarizado. Continuação de bons achados.

LSCHNELLE Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hello: I am a renewed paleo hound - starting back up after 30 years of down time. I am posting one 100+ degree F, Austin, Texas USA find on July 20, 2016. There were probably 10 to 15 shark's teeth (mostly cutter sharks) in the two-cubic-foot matrix rock boulder. Only one perfect 30mm cutter shark's tooth was visible in the field when I decided to haul it home. The fossil pictured below has not been fully prepared.Once home, I disassembled this slightly weathered Late Cretaceous conglomerate that was found in the "condensed zone" between the Conacian Age Atco Member of the Austin Chalk and the Turonian Age South Bosque Member of the Eagle Ford in Austin, Texas. A 26mm wide by 12mm high tooth identified as Ptychodus Mortoni (Agassiz 1843) was exposed near the center. It has visible crown top wear with a root that appears to be either partly missing or blended with fine-grained conglomerate matrix. There are several conglomerate matrix and extracted views of it. First two views in rock matrix, next with mirror casts, and last two views of same tooth beside the centimeter gauged ruler. I know this is a rather common Ptychodus. I had already found about 20 much smaller P. mortoni in the area in the 5 to 15mm size range. On July 20, I was determined to find my second large (>25mm) Ptychodus tooth. And, I actually found it! - just not quite where I set out to find it (Eagle Ford Bouldin Flags). So, I was pretty amped up when it showed up in some of the last of the conglomerate matrix. Thanks for your consideration.Lee Schnelle, P.G. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
