Shark Onchopristis dunklei Aguja Formation Texas Cretaceous Hate to be the pedant again... This is a denticle, not a tooth. Onchopristis is a sawfish/ray and not a shark. It could be from Onchopristis, but I'm not sure there's a way to attribute denticles like this to a particular taxon.

JamieLynn Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 @ThePhysicist I don't mind you being pedantic! Every time I learn something new! And yes, that makes sense that this is a denticle now that you say because of the more fluted base and the very long taper. I thought it looked a bit different from the other Onchpristis And honestly, I though sawfish were part of the shark family! Surprise...they are rays. Okay. Learned two new things today! hahahah!

JamieLynn Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 Sea Creature Saturday! Although I'd say 99% of my fossils stuff is sea creature, really.... I posted these in another thread about Seastar ossicles....I had fun putting together a variety of tiny "terminal" ends of starfish arms. It's odd how I find many of the ends, but few of the ossicles in some spots and many ossicles but no terminals Terminals Ossicles 2 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieLynn Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 All Fossil Friday! Sometimes Mother Nature just gifts you and sometimes makes DANG sure you see it! It was earlier this summer and already getting hot, but I usually go up to Austin hours earlier for our Paleo Society meetings (because traffic is HORRIFIC) so I usually go to Shoal Creek and poke around a bit. But like I said, it was already in the 100s in May so I just went down to get some Micro Matrix. But as I was climbing out of the creek, I saw a little area I'd not been to and I ACTUALLY THOUGHT...I'll probably not find anything, but maybe Mother Nature will give me a gift. And BOOM....up high, in an area there usually aren't any fossils, the sunlight was filtering through the leaves and spotlighted this LOVELY little ammonite. It was like YOU WILL NOT MISS THIS FOSSIL! I love those moments.... Ammonite Paracalycoceras crotaloides Texas Cretaceous And this was after I found it....a little "photoshoot" with a lovely backdrop before it we went into a drought... 3 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
