gatorjames85 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 After a long hike and fending off the tent peoples' dogs (probably a unique phenomenon to Gainesville fossiling), I got to the little feeder creek I spent the afternoon in. This was the first time I had screened here, but I had walked it before and found some really light colored shark teeth and vertebrate material. The big teeth eluded me today, but I found a dolphin tooth and some of my nicer specimens of contortus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice finds. If you don't mind me asking what kind of tooth is that in the middle that looks like a double sided saw. Thats cool.

jimmy1971 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Very nice stuff gatorjames! pretty nice ray barb you got there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice stuff, and those ray barbs are pretty cool too. Most of the ones that I find are small pieces about an inch long and I only get a few of the larger pieces for some reason. What kind of vertebrate tooth is that on the lower right? Bison or camel maybe? Kevin Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That skinny one is a pretty long piece. nice finds i like the mammal stuff you can find down there, the skinny one Im thinking is actually a fish spine and not a ray barb.

gatorjames85 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 James ,it looks more like Bison. You are probably right, my mammal identification is much shakier than my shark identification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
