Mississippi Fossils-My First Finds


    The first one I have to post is a fossil sharks tooth found in north Mississippi, from the Cretaceous Period. This is from a Goblin Shark or Scapanorhynchus Texanus and is closely related to the modern Goblin shark.

   The next find was an almost 100% intact Gastropoda found in Hinds County and was chipped out of solid rock. It is the most complete one I could find to date.
