I.D. Your Fossils

[jridg]

they are sitting on a business card - fairly small - I accidentally dropped the middle one and the corner broke

The first one is a sharpnose shark and the middle one is a hemi. Not sure what the last one is can't see it from here.

Ok. Heres a few different pics of something I found Dec 23rd off Alhambra. The end on pic is little hard to see, but it looks like the end, is fairly smooth, almost like someone took a saw to it. Any ideas on what it is?

Looks like a piece of manatee

 

[Fossilbabe]

(Manatee rib bone), dugong is the correct name. Metaxytherium floridanum.

 

[Fossilbabe]

Nice shots by the way. Great detail

 

[truck1]

Thanks for the ID and compliment. We had it narrowed down to either a rib bone, tusk or other bone.

I used my DC 600 with a flash, with out the housing for the pics.

I think I know what this is but I thought I would ask people more knowlegable than I.

1" tall, 3/8" wide, cone shaped with concave bottom. Black base, brown top with dark vertical stripes. Good amount of weight for its size.

Found in a cavern off the Santa Fe river. Alligator tooth? It's the best I can do with the camera I have so excuse the poor quality.

 

[Fossilbabe]

It is a alligator tooth. Good job, was it found screening or diving?

 

[eandiver]

Diving. I tend to slow down and just take a look at the area while on the way out. I've found a lot of very cool things this way. Thanks.
