    Back to the Paleocene

    I got back out to the Potomac river yesterday to search along the Paleocene exposures for some more prehistoric treasures. I got to the beach around 8am and had a couple hours till low tide, the water was calm and clear enough to where I could easily see out in the deeper water. Pretty soon after beginning my hike I found a really nice 1.23” crocodile tooth rolling around right on the shore line. It slowed down for a little while after that only find a couple busted Otodus teeth and a nice sand tiger here and there. Once I got around the bend to my favorite stretch of this beach, where I’ve found most of my better Paleocene finds, things began to pick back up a bit. I found a nice tiny crocodile tooth tumbling in the wash, then only a few steps later I see a beautiful 1.48” Otodus partially buried in the sand! Before reaching the end of the beach I also found a large ray plate fragment and nice shark vertebra! The walk back was slow with the waves not churning up much as I’m walking back in my footsteps, I already a nice haul for the day so it didn’t bother me. It was another great day along the river, thanks for reading. Bonus picture from another Paleocene trip a couple weeks ago, the water was murky and high and I didn’t find enough for a full report but I did get a nice ray plate, Otodus and a heartbreaker!
  2. I got on the beach a little later than I should have and missed low tide. I hiked down the beach in high tide, in my chest waders, and had to turn back because most of the beach had disappeared. Still found some good teeth! A nice crocodile tooth which was a tripmaker and my first piece of a large Meg! I've gotten smaller meg pieces but this one gave me a lot of hope for the future. It showed me that there are Megs out there. Found this piece of meg in the wire and rock dividers that separate the cliffs from the beach, apparently called Gabion baskets? Not sure. Anyway, I also saw a Snake sitting on some clay! Great day, I cant wait to go back. Maybe try a spot in VA next time.

    Unidentified jaw from morocco

    Hello, i saw this unidentified reptile jaw from morocco for sale today. Does anyone know to what it once belonged ? The tooth socket is oval and the jaw seems to have had a little lip which now had erodet away. So Spinosaurus maybe ?

    My Best teeth from 2023

    Found these a few months back. My best teeth from 2023. Looking forward to more in 2024. Maryland finds, specifically about 15 miles north of Calvert cliffs

    What is this tooth from ?

    Hello, i am interested in bidding for this tooth. Description says that its a weirdly formed croc tooth, but i think its a Suchomimus premaxillary tooth instead. From all what i know, croc teeth are always a circle in the cross section and dont have striations. The tooth has no visible serrations, but a flat area at the back. Thats why i think its a premaxillar tooth.
  6. I noticed the fossils of more 'modern' reptiles are not commonly shown/displayed (partly because I think they are fairly common in the U.S. and not viewed as too spectacular), so I thought we might do so here. I'd love to see your croc/alligator and turtle material, especially from various locations!

    Tooth Cleaning Question

    I found this gorgeous crocodile tooth along the Calvert Cliffs and it looks like it has some strange white staining on it. Rinsing it with warm soapy water doesn’t seem to do anything. Is there a good way to clean off the stains or is that just how the tooth is. Thank you!
  8. Got a surprise day off work on Tuesday so I decided to hit the cliffs to make the most of the day off. I got to the ramp around 10am to launch my kayak and headed to a beach I hadn’t been to in a little while. The trip started slow but I found a couple nice Hemipristis teeth to start getting my hopes up. I want finding to much in the wash and the water was to murky to find anything deep so I spent some time looking through debris around some fresh falls. Lo and behold a beautiful 1.75” Thecachampsa tooth is sitting right on top of one of the falls. It dried with some strange white staining that I wasn’t able to clean off, but none the less it’s still a great tooth. Continuing on I find a heartbreaking 2.3” megalodon that was broken almost in half (at least I got the larger half). Finishing up I got a few more nice Hemis and a handful of other nice smaller teeth. All in all in was a good day along the cliffs and it sure beat working. Thanks for reading, see y’all next time.

    Croc or mosasaur tooth

    Hello everyone. I found this tooth months ago and perhaps didn’t do enough reading at the time. I labeled it a mosasaur tooth and moved on. Now having gone through more online articles I am thinking that it is indeed a crocodile tooth. Any help would be appreciated! Found at Ramanessin Brook in New Jersey, which I believe is part of the Navesink Formation. Although several other Cretaceous formations exist there too, like the Wenonah Formation. The tooth measures approximately 5/8 of an inch long by 3/8 of an inch wide at the base. There is worn down carinae with no serrations. I’m not sure what to call the pocket at the base of the tooth but you see this in both crocodile teeth and mosasaur teeth. Seems small for a mosasaur tooth but just wanted some extra input. Thank you!
  10. It is came from Sichuan,Shaximiao Formation,Jurassic. The seller told me that it is pliosaurs but some of my friends thought it is crocodile. I really want to know its ID.

    deinosuchus?

    It was discovered in the Chattahoochee River in the United States. I wonder what kind of alligator it is. Could it be Deinosuchus?
  12. I'm CRYING! I FINALLY found a small Cretaceous crocodile dermal plate (one of my bucket list finds!) in some new Aguja matrix and I was trying to carefully clean a little bit of crud on it....AND IT BUSTED INTO 7 pieces!!!! Broken Hearted. However, I managed to "mount" it on some white clay, with all but one piece which is so small I can't find it. It looks OKAY....but it looked better before I busted it. Ah well. I FOUND A CROC DERMAL!!!
  13. Howdy all, I've seen a lot of fossils from Alligator americanus, but none from Crocodylus americanus, yet both are present in the modern day. Did C. americanus emerge later than A. americanus or are fossils of C. americanus being labeled as A. americanus for convenience?
  14. Howdy all, I read somewhere that Thecachampsa americana is a synonym for Crocodylus americanus, at least in reguard to thecachampsa fossils found in pleistocene deposits in Florida. Is this true?
  15. Hi, I've got this for [price redacted), claimed to be a fossile from Morroco. What are the chances of it being authentic? Really appreciate your comments. Milad

    Hunting in the cold

    It was pretty cool yesterday. As a youth, I used to swim in Vermont quarries. But having been in Florida for 20+ years, I define cool differently. As I stepped out of my truck at 6:45 am, it was 57 degrees Fahrenheit and I was about to go swimming. I am not completely crazy. I had my 5mm shorty wetsuit on. Very successful day, Slow to start, moved twice and then consistent finds. A couple of Notes: There is a row or 2 of Tigers and 3-4 rows of Bull _ Dusky teeth those species dominate here. I pick up a some interesting bones to Identify later.... The Makos (55 and 41 mm) and lower Hemi (45 mm) were definitely appreciated. Tiger shark teeth are as large as I find anywhere. This might be P. contortus. Then this Osteoderm on the right, compared to Alligator... I almost tossed it away... but then I thought it could be Crocodile.... There is a cluster of 5 mostly whole or partial Horse teeth... They are the primary request for Identification or comments.. #1 #2 #3 Really beaten up Tridactyl,, Pretty.. need to stare at it to see if I can find the protocone. High Majority of Tridactyl Horses here are N peninsulatus #4 Almost all there... I think an Id is possible... #5 Lots missing... may be Equus.. lower partial All comments and suggestions appreciated... Jack @fossillarry

    I did not personally find this - it was from Harry Pristis, but from the Peace River. It is now in my collection!
