  1. On a recent trip in Perú, near the coastal town San Juan de Marcona, I saw several middle to late Pleistocene marine terraces. In this one, fossil fragile clams and stout scallops are well-preserved, separately packed in thin strata. I think they are Anomia peruviana and Argopecten purpuratus. clamsscallops Also found one unidentified gastropod Photo shows clam stratum just below scallop stratum.

  3. Boy have I been away for a good bit. Quite a lot has happened since! Hope everyone's doing all right all things considered! Seeing the calamity the world is in the throes of, I decided to head out Saturday before the zombie apocalypse truly took hold here in GA. With social distancing and whatnot in effect, the options are quite limited as far as recreational activities. Thankfully, everyone's favorite activity, finding the rock-encrusted remains of life long gone is something that can be done away from prying eyes, particularly the Tivola Limestone site in Perry GA that I visited last year that produces those gorgeous Periarchus sand dollars and Chlamys scallops. After a quick pit stop at a hazmat-ified Chick-fil-A and a nice drive to Perry, we found ourselves at the site for the second time. After a short walk through mild vegetation, the abandoned quarry came into view: The rock that made up the walls seemed to be significantly darker than what we observed our first time around, a result of extended exposure to the elements. After a few early finds on top of the pit's edge, we made our descent inside via a small and less steep slope hugging a portion of the wall. In the pit, 2 hours were sunk into searching. The result: a decent haul, with a lot of prep-ables. The first thing I picked up was perhaps my favorite: an in-situ Periarchus pileussinensis that was mostly whole, with a number of small cracks visible that served to put a kind of emphasis on its age.
  4. Hello again, my fossiling friends! It has been quite some time, between graduation, moving, and preparing for a vacation to Sicily to watch active volcanoes do their thing, schedule's been pretty loaded. Since the last time we talked, I was able to fit a visit to Dalton/Chatsworth before school ended, but I never got around to posting it. Ever since I was able to talk to Thomas Thurmon at my last PAG meeting, we were looking to hit the Tivola Limestone in Perry GA as he has had experience with it before. After a rain-induced postponement the week prior, we were able to make the trip this past Saturday, and boy did the Tivola not disappoint. We arrived on the roadside to pleasant weather and a short hike to the main area. Loggers had recently been in the area, as evidenced by a number of downed trees lying around. As we hiked, it didn't take long for Thurman and I to start finding Periarchus bits to take with us (while my step-grandpa was bewildered by how quickly we could spot them ). After emerging from what was left of the forest, we had a view of our destination: Being a long since abandoned quarry, the area was huge and quite a sight to behold. Thurman guided us to an access point where we could climb down to the best of the Tivola goodness, picking up Pectens and Periarchus along the way. The inside of the pit had a huge array of goodies, with Pectens, Periarchus and more in good supply. Cont.
  5. @clay@caldiggerHad a very interesting 3 weeks in Nov/Dec beach hunting at North Myrtle Beach, SC. Every year their are different finds along with the old dependable stand-bys. Many I am familiar, some I believe I know what they are but would like confirmation from TFF members and others I have no clue. I try and be there during a high tide as I believe that it stirs up more material. This year, a KING tide occurred-a new term for me-but it occurs a few times a year when the moon is the closest to the earth. Unfortunately many homes were re-flooded after recovering from the hurricane due to this 8+ foot tide. While i did not hunt every day some days i went out morning and evening. Trying to catch (mostly not successful due to timing) a falling tide. Well here without further ado are the pictures. Starting with shark, then other fish, drum fish tooth, skate barb, sand dollar, inter casts clams, snails, complete (both sides) scallop shell and complete ark shell cast with some shell remaining, actual ark shell (only one I found the entire period). I will do a part 2 that focuses on mammal fossils I found. Edit Need help with id for 1st pic 3rd tooth in. Looks like a Carcharocles but cusplets flow into the root without making a distinct cusplet.
