Tributary of the Peace River Watershed- A two week trip- Calling all Fossil Enthusiasts
DirtyHippie posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Ladies and Gentlemen I do believe I have found the most productive fossil site I've ever found to date. We'll call it Hemi Heaven for now. This was an amazing one in a lifetime trip. I'd never been to this area to fossil hunt, and I really had no experience with alligators. I've been told the water level was too high and the area is super picked over. But as a surfer, I suspected the hurricane would open up new options. I packed up my kayak, tools, wetsuits, snorkel & mask, and camping gear. Couldn't convince anyone to go with, so I headed out solo to the Peace River Campgro- 9 replies

MD Hunt Compilation Report - Lessons Learned - Friends Made - Finds Great and Small
Mara_Masina posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hey guys! As a new fossil hunter, I am terrible at keeping up with my trip reports, so instead of struggling to remember the little details, here's a compiled post on how the past three months went. I don't have professional photos of every find, but hopefully what I do have will scratch the itch for anyone interested in my escapades. Oh - I'll be in NJ this Saturday for another hunt with DVPS - any tips for shallow creek hunting would be appreciated! ~ January My first ever attempt at winter hunting. Armed with tips from you generous folks, I went solo- 9 replies

Hello, So I've very recently learned about bone valley shark teeth, and thinking I might get a nice BV hemipristis serra tooth for my collection. Knowledgable members on this sub have been kind enough to show me examples and inform me that the classic, uniquely identifiable bone valley color is "solid white root + solid dark blade". As I'm still an amateur though, I wanted to ask TFF members to see if these following specimens that I found are indeed distinctively BV hemis, and which one is the nicest example of such? I've posted both lingual and labial surfaces of each.

Where should I be looking for larger hemipristis serra?
Mara_Masina posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello, I've heard that some locations are better than others for finding specific species. My favorite shark teeth to find are those of the snaggletooth shark, so I was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to focus my hunting in order to find the serrations of my dreams! I live in PA, but am willing to drive as far as Virginia if I have time and money. So far I've found baby H. serra teeth at Matoaka, but as I'm a new fossil hunter I haven't had a chance to check out other sites yet. Any recommendations? Thanks! -
Made my first fossil hunting trip to South Carolina, went to some areas around Summerville, thought I’d share pics of some of the fossils I collected! The best finds were some echovenator-like teeth, Angies, great whites, some intact sections of dugong ribs, and several associated pieces of a sea turtle shell. Felt like Indiana Jones exploring all the creeks trying to find productive spots haha. Fun trip, hope to return in the future!

Following up on the artificial tooth set I recently constructed for the Paleocene sand tiger shark Striatolamia striata, I decided to see if I could put one together for the Miocene snaggletooth, Hemipristis serra, using teeth I've collected along the Calvert Cliffs in Maryland. I haven't found a great resource for an H. serra dentition, but I consulted a few different sources to get a sense for the arrangement, including Fossilguy.com, J-elasmo (which has a dentition for the extant H. elongata), and various TFF threads. The resulting tooth set is below. While I've fou

Hey, I was wondering if it’s possible to find fire zone hemi’s in STH, or not? TIA

I had Friday off and decided to head out to Matoaka Beach to do some shark tooth hunting along the Calvert Cliffs. I arrived bright and early and soon came across a decent-sized Hemi. Unfortunately, it was incomplete: missing one side of the root, some serrations, and part of the blade. That turned out to be the theme of the morning as I continued to find several other partial Hemis on the beach. When I finally found a complete tooth, it was in the 0.5- to 0.75-inch range, which is typically the size I find here. While I’ve found several tanta
