Rowboater Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 A little under the weather (and having truck trouble) but took a break for a few hours hoping to find more shrimp coprolites after recent thunderstorms. Humid, but not particularly hot, lots of frogs. Despite lots of digging in last week's spot, not much mixed in the gravel, mostly small broken stuff (one vert, one angel shark tooth, some drum teeth). I always wonder if I am 'mining' an area of the stream bed that was picked over 30 years ago. Finally found a mottled tiger shark tooth, relatively rare on that site. I have some small pieces drying but no strong suspicions of shrimp coprolites. Before leaving I hit an older spot which has been good for cowshark teeth. First screening found a broken ecphora, a pretty rootless cowshark tooth and a broken cowshark tooth. On the way out checked two other spots, maybe next week? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowboater Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Between the ecphora and tiger shark tooth there is what I now believe is a puffer fish mouth plate (too bad, I was hoping it was shrimp (coprolite) related). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
