  1. Chesapeake and Delaware canal, New Castle county, Delaware USA

    Fossils in this album are from the now lost C&D canal. This site was a dredge dump site near Delaware city. This site was very large and covered acres. However, the site was flooded in 2023 to prepare for a new batch of dredge that does not contains fossils.
     
    Most of the finds at this site date to the late Cretaceous, specifically the Mount Laurel formation. Common finds include bivalves, gastropods and cephalopods. This site had a wide variety of microfossils including solitary coral, bryozoan, crinoids, urchin spines, urchins, worms and brachiopods. Less common finds were vertebra, bone fragments, shark teeth, fish teeth and mosasaur teeth.
     
    Occasional  erratics (likely Devonian) can be found as well. These include brachiopods, corals, crinoids and even trilobites. 
     
    Fossilized woods (date and origin unknown) occasionally was found.

  22. Fossildude's Purchased/Gift Fossils

    A very small part of my collection is comprised of some gift and some purchased fossils. 

    I've never paid more than $35.00 for a fossil.  (Not including shipping)

  24. Texas Turonian Ptychodus Teeth

    Ptychodus whipplei teeth in the San Marcos Platform (SMP) area of the Western Interior Seaway have been very uncommon to find in my experience. Whereas, I understand that they are very common in the DFW and Sherman areas of Texas nearer to the Ouachita Mountains. I have now found a few of them in five different areas of the SMP. These are pictures of one of my best and largest finds in mm/cm scale. The first picture of the bilobed root. The second of the crown top. And the last from a side view.
