5 years, 3 months ago5 years, 3 months agoBoth teeth have been weathered as a result of being transported in a river. As the teeth are transported by the water they are worn down and their edges become smoothed out. If you look closely at the tooth on the right, you’ll notice that it has faint serrations that have been worn down. The tooth on the left has completely lost the enamel that c…[Read more]

7 years, 4 months ago7 years, 4 months agoOsteichthyes literally translates into “bony fishes” and nothing feels bonier than a fish spine! These tough elements can be found on the anterior portion of the fins and are usually unsegmented. Spines have been used for various reasons, but mainly for protection against predators. In catfish especially, the pectoral spines can be serrated! <…[Read more]

I am not familiar with coprolite re-hydration, but apparently it is a technique used widely in archaeology for analysis of ancient human paleofeces.
