Spooky1 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 My first trip to Lee Creek was fun and I was able to find some items I didn't have. Here are some of my finds. The Great White tooth is missing the root which I've been told is common at Lee Creek. The Tiger Shark tooth is the biggest I've found yet. I was told the bird bones are most likely Auk. To date i hadn't found any whale or dolphin vertebrae on my trips to Calvert Cliffs so I had a bucket full when I left Lee Creek. I didn't find any Megs or large Mako teeth, but there's always next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky1 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 A few more of my finds. I found some nice fish and shark vertebrae. Some assorted smaller shark teeth, and a piece of a meg (I'm trying to decide if one in the picture is a whale shark tooth). Also, if you go to the Museum in Aurora make sure to do some sifting in the piles. I found some nice teeth the day before I hit the mine. Thanks to the folks at the PCS Phosphate Mine, and the volunteers who make these trips possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 ...I was told the bird bones are most likely Auk... Yup, Razorbill Auk; ulna and tarsometatarsus.
