Guest bmorefossil Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 made it down to the river today as I said I would, no one showed up but I was not alone on the beach. There were three others that had made it there before me. So I walked past all of them and found my first complete ray plate, it might be missing one little part I cant tell but even if it is its awsome. The ground was so hard I couldn't tell if I dug it out of sand or matrix!!! I also went ice skating....on sand, I ended up falling on some rocks that really hurt. Shortly after finding the ray plate I found a block that had a nice sand tiger and an otodus in it, I also found another otodus and the large sand tiger under a fallen tree, My three hours were up so I had to leave, but I think it was a very productive 3 hours. There was one odd fossil that I have no idea about, I know there is a tooth but I cant tell if its a croc tooth in a jaw or if its a sharks tooth in some coprolite, what ever it is....different (= happy hunting steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bmorefossil Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 and to add to the trip I met a forum member today, Jbstedman, I didnt know it was him at the time but now that I do ill be sure to keep a look out, you never know where our members will show up, sometimes I just feel like asking people if they are a member and if the say no, then they should join Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenixflood Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nice haul Bmore! A good 3 hours of work and bliss. You have to be quiet to seek up on those fossils your hunting :ph34r: I think it could be coprolite, but I'd have to see other angles or in person. If theres a tooth in it the shark could have swallowed its own teeth or made someone else a snack The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always.

If theres a tooth in it the shark could have swallowed its own teeth or made someone else a snack yea that makes sense, I know that they swallowed their teeth, the tooth is so round im almost thinking its croc., the reason I took this picture was to show the enamel on the tooth whatever it is from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 The last item is a coprolite. Nice ray plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boy Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Awesome ray plate! Yes, the last item is a coprolite. I think that it's possible that those are drum fish teeth in it, or some sort of fish teeth. On your first pic, lower right corner, is that a tooth? Wow, 4 collectors there on a Friday...holy smokes!

On your first pic, lower right corner, is that a tooth? well there is one really small tooth and the thing to the right of that is a broken piece of turtle shell. alright guys Im going with coprolite as well, I like where you went with the fish but the tooth is way to big to be from a fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

non-remanié Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 i see a coprolite, but nothing more than that. can you draw a circle where the tooth and turtle bone are? do you guys think i should try to get the thing out? ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bmorefossil Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 i see a coprolite, but nothing more than that. can you draw a circle where the tooth and turtle bone are? did you also want the tooth in the first picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non-remanié Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 i dont see the tooth either. just a guess would be just below what you just circled? I will have to take your word for both because I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary. Its probably too subtle to show up well in the picture of a such a small object. did you also want the tooth in the first picture? ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bmorefossil Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 ok I'm confused, do you see in the coprolite picture how I circled where the enamel is? The enamel is that shiny black stuff, the box is around the part of the tooth sticking out, seems the root is missing. I'm thinking sandtiger because how round the tooth is. Football game is on right now, if you need more pictures I'll get them after the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bmorefossil Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 ok well here is the best I can do with the picture I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non-remanié Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 i'm trying here, but all i see is a slightly shiny area that you say is enamel.... i see nothing that looks too out of the ordinary, but i will take your word for it that it is something that has a structure. its just too subtle for me, or maybe im blind today ok well here is the best I can do with the picture I have ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
