4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @cathy-young – did you need help identifying this specimen? Do you remember where you found it?
It seems really round, could it be a seed, @mackenzie-smith? -

4 years, 9 months ago4 years, 9 months agoHi, @cathy-young, Again, your Eon is incorrect as it should be Phanerozoic. What part of a hadrosaur do you think this is? Was it collected in North Carolina? Thanks, Jen

4 years, 9 months ago4 years, 9 months agoHi, @cathy-young, Your Eon is incorrect, it should be Phanerozoic. Would you be able to include an image with a scale? How were you able to identify this tooth as belonging to Deinosuchus? Thanks, Jen

4 years, 9 months ago4 years, 9 months agoHi, @cathy-young, Some of your information here is incorrect. First, are you sure this is a hadrosaur vertebrae? Dinosaurs in Appalachia are incredibly rare. Could you include an image with a scale bar? The Eon is incorrect, it should be Phanerozoic. Looking forward to working with you, Jen

7 years ago7 years ago@jeanette-pirlo – Great topic! My favorite PaleoBlitz memory was seeing everyone come back from the field site, happy and muddy and excited about fossils. @cathy-young and @joyce-drakeford, I am so glad to hear that the PaleoBlitz made a significant impact for you and how you approach paleontology! 🙂

7 years, 1 month ago7 years, 1 month agoVery nice, @cathy-young. I’m interested to see the representation of species in the fossils you recently posted. In your comment above, you say it’s your Phoebus collection. These are all river-collected? I see a lot of them say “collected in a lag deposit” when I click on them in the fossil gallery.
-
Hi @llundgren . Yes, Phoebus Landing is a fossil site along the Cape Fear River near Elizabethtown, NC. You can only get there by boat. Although the formation that the fossils are from are the Black Creek (Donoho) formation, it’s a lag deposit. You won’t find a complete dinosaur, deinosuchus or anything else – but we do find bones and teeth.…[Read more]

Cathy, be sure to check out Ronny’s digitization video tutorial (under the Resources->Videos & Tutorials tab); it could help you take the best photos of your specimens.

PennDOT blew up most of the marine zone while widening the cut a while back. There are occasionally chunks of marine zone that have fallen that people can search, but chunks of the plant layer are much more common to find.
I was there about a month ago to make sure the site was not blown up…again. I only spent about 15 or so min…[Read more]

Hi, @cathy-young, do you think you could upload some photos with a scale bar on a more plain background?
Hello Sam, I’ll be glad to do that this winter. To busy right now.

Reply to Jen, Deinsochus has very rugose striations. It is also the largest croc teeth found in that age and location. I am 100% sure that it what it is.
Thanks, Bill! I didn’t know about the striations so I appreciate the information.
There are two crocodilians (Deinosuchus is actually an alligatoroid) found at that location, Deinosuchus see: ‘King of the Crocodylians: The Paleobiology of Deinosuchus’ (I’ve actually spoken with the author) and Leidyosuchus which are typically less than 1/3 the size and whose striations are not rugose. See:…[Read more]
