Description

Group of 3 Fossils

This trio of fossils consists of an unrelated grouping but which makes for a nice starter collection. A fossil shark centrum, a very well-preserved echinoid and a pair of oreodont teeth in a section of jaw offered as a group and presented here. The offset, somewhat flattened shark vertebra comes from Kansas, a remnant of the great Western Interior Seaway of the Cretaceous. The gray echinoid is a treasure from Texas, with a classic "heart" shape characteristic of its Hemiaster identification dating to the Cretaceous as well. The mammalian dentition from The Badlands consists of brownish oreodont teeth in a tan, bony jaw section dating to the Oligocene deposits of Wyoming. The centrum and echinoid are much older than the teeth.
