    Hi Joey! Since it was found among fossil wood I’m going to ask @mackenzie-smith

    for ideas on what it could be.

    In case it isn’t plant material, I’m going to ask @jbauer


    @jeanette-pirlo
    and @smoran

    if they have any suggestions!

    Excuse the weird spacing- the @ system is being fickle today!

    @mackenzie-smith did you see these possible plant fossils?

    Hi @joe-blondino! I showed your post to FOSSIL team member @vperez, and he identified your specimens as sting rays mouth plates (genus Aetobatus). There are some pictures of complete specimens (and an artist’s recreation of the sting ray) here: https://www.calvertmarinemuseum.com/335/Fossil-Teeth

    Hi Wendell,

    Thanks for your patience awaiting a response- I had also missed your message! There are some easy ways to make sure you don’t miss any updates:

    Forums- if you look in the upper right corner of each forum, you will see the word “follow.” By clicking “follow,” you will receive an email anytime there is an update to that forum. Click here for an example photo.

    Groups- There is also a “follow” button in the upper right-hand corner for groups. Once you follow a group, you may need to adjust your email settings. You can choose to receive an email every time there is an update, or receive a single email with all updates at the end of the day. Click here for an example photo. 

    Messages and more- If you go to your profile, click on “settings” and then click on “email,” you can choose whether or not you’d like to receive emails when someone sends you a message, mentions you in an update, etc. Click here for an example photo. 

    I hope that is helpful, please let me know if you have any additional questions!

    @hunter-thurmond have you used the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life? It is an online ID guide, and has a Neogene guide for the Southeast US.

    http://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/

     

    There are a lot of gastropods to sort through, but this one caught my eye as similar to your specimen:

    http://neogeneatlas.net/species/turbonilla-abrupta/

    I would look through the others too, since I just did a brief glance through some of the snail families!

    Hi @nathan-newell, this is a great question! I am tagging a couple of people who are very knowledgeable about brachiopods: @jbauer @alycia-stigall @rebecca-freeman. They may have some resources to suggest!

    Hi @geoff-ruonavarra,

    I showed your posts to several researchers here at the Florida Museum, but from the photos they could not make any identification determinations or provide a sense of commonality. Regarding 3D digitization, the best place to start would be your local university. They may be willing to work with you to scan your specimen. Sorry we couldn’t be of more help, but thanks for sharing this with our community!

    Hi @wendell-ricketts, we’ve been in communication with the museum, and are working to clear up any confusion about our trip’s details. Thanks for reaching out to us regarding this matter!

    Hey @vperez @jeanette-pirlo @smoran @imagallanes @michael-ziegler @michelle-barboza, can someone take a look at these photos and shed any light on the fossil vs. rock question? If you know of someone who might be better at identifying them, please tag. Thank you!

    As an undergraduate, I used the University of Michigan’s Animal Diversity Web to learn key characters of mammal skulls (check out these great photos of a coyote skull, as an example!). It turns out, they also have a great online fossil repository too! UMORF, or the University of Michigan Online Repository of Fossils has both 3D and 2D images of fossil invertebrate and vertebrate specimens. As a newbie to paleontology, I really enjoy using their 3D viewer and marveling at the incredibly detail shown in the images!

    @lmccall wanted to add this information to the conversation: “Mercenaria of this type are common in the Waccamaw Formation.  I’ve also seen similar ones from Lee Creek Mine (so could be James City).  The bryozoan covered gastropods look very like the ones from the Pleistocene, SMR Quarry.”

    Thanks so much for clarifying, @tom-piscitelli! I had trouble seeing the photos as I uploaded them, so did not notice the modern oyster. I’ll add a note to my original post to help make it more clear. Please feel free to chime in with any other helpful details/corrections.
