jpc Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 1 and 2 ungulate tooth. Based on color it may be more recent than the other fossils. 3 fish vertebra 4 crocodilian scutes 5 ? 6 ? 7 smaller ungulate teeth (not ornithopod , they are long ago extinct) 8 interesting small vertebra (maybe turtle) 9 amphibian verts 10 fish fin spines That is my educated guess. Fun fossils. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bovid tooth (cow or similar) Fish vertebrae Crocodile scutes Maybe a croc tooth but hard to tell no idea Pieces of teeth from an ungulate, maybe antelope, goat or cow Vertebrae of some kind I believe, mammal or reptile fish vertebrae Fish bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I think that first tooth is actually a horse. A photo of the chewing surface would help with the identification. The specimen after the crocodile scutes resembles a large lizard tooth but it might just be a broken tip of a spine or piece of bone. Close-ups of opposite sides could help. The two ungulate teeth might be antelope or goat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faten Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 hi, how are you? I have collected some samples of clay from the same site, I want to search and identify, if they exist, the micro-organisms, I would be grateful if you tell me what is the exact steps to follow, or If you have a document that describes these steps, i would be so thankful if helped me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 To defragment clay, you have to put your dry blocks in a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide. Once your sediment has been thoroughly removed, you sift through and rinse. You dry the remaining parts as a block and repeat the operation as many times as necessary.

Harry Pristis Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I agree, it's an equid tooth. And, they are bony fish vertebrae, not from sharks. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
