4 years, 11 months ago4 years, 11 months agoI can’t open the link, but I believe it’s the video by PaleoCris? I saw it too, absolutely crazy. I believe Cris mostly hunts in the Nashua Formation (Pliocene) when it comes to shells, but I’m not too sure if this location is also from that formation.

5 years ago5 years agoLooks like a bull/dusky shark tooth. The genus is Carcharhinus, so you can label this tooth as Carcharhinus sp.

5 years ago5 years agoMy favorite time is a stage, more precisely the Eemian stage (interglacial stage in the Late Pleistocene about 120’000 years ago). Quite a young age, but man this is where you find the BEST bivalve fossils! 😀

5 years ago5 years ago@carlos-solana-redondo yes you’re generally right but in this case the specimen(s) does appear to be modern and not fossilized. It still has its original shine and coloration, traits that are usually lost during fossilization. During fossilization it might acquire new colors/textures, but it will rarely keep all of its original features like is t…[Read more]

5 years, 1 month ago5 years, 1 month ago@mackenzie-smith yeah it does look very similar (same family like you said), but the IDing problem is very straightforward here, just a change in genus name. Species stays the same. At the website (it seems to have a relatively large overview of all the different species), Dallarca subrostrata fits perfectly with the specimens here, and there is…[Read more]

5 years, 1 month ago5 years, 1 month agoCool!!! Was it a common species (ie do many of the Californian mammoth specimens have to be relabeled) or a rare one (with only a couple specimens known)?

5 years, 1 month ago5 years, 1 month agoYup, “fossil moonsnail” is good. If it’s the same species, the common (ie English) name doesn’t change between fossil and modern specimens, and this applies to most fossils

5 years, 1 month ago5 years, 1 month agoVery nice! Looking at the Calvert Marine Museum that does seem to be the best fit. However the genus name is now Dallarca, so what you have is Dallarca subrostrata! It’s always cool to have fossils from old collections!

Max, yes it is paleochris. I don’t know why the link didn’t work so here’s another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_HqYfzIHVo . So whereabouts in Florida is the Nashua Formation?
