  1. I was just wanting to show off my biggest hemi in 2 years of amateur fossil hunting. Its a 1.7 inch hemi from a dredge system in georgia, its been cleaned up alot since the root was fully covered in matrix still slightly unstable however. Im pretty happy with the condition and colors I was wondering whats the biggest hemi ever found or biggest personal hemi anyone else has found.

    Georgia shark tooth ID

    I found this tooth a while back on a dredge system in georgia. I was wondering on its ID since im not too familiar with the area.

    I.O.W

    Hi, I live on the Isle of Wight which I know has a good reputation for fossil finds so I want to make the most of living here and get out looking for some. I was just wondering if there are any laws regarding fossil hunting like if I find something am I allowed to keep it or do some things have to be declared if found in certain areas. I know with metal detecting there are some regulations that can catch you out. Thanks.

    Fossil help :)

    Hi, this is my first post on this forum! (and sorry for bad english, btw) I just registered yesterday, and I would really appreciate if someone could ID this stone (?) I found. It is found in Croatia, on the Adriatic sea, on the island of Brač. I noticed it while I was walking down the stony path, in the inland of the island. I don't know anything about fossils, but it looks interesting and I am curious. Thank you!
  5. A few days ago while snorkelling on shallow waters in a greek island I found this canine tooth and I was wondering if it is a fossil or from a modern animal. Can anyone recognise it? Thank you!!!
  6. Hello. I found these on a Croatian island - they don't strike me as one of their regular Jurassic finds, as it appears to be more inside a fault of petrified red soil amidst the abundant limestone. They look kinda "new". Can anyone tell me what they are? I found them on two locations. Not a geologist, so no idea. Whale and other large marine life bones? Polished by the sea? After some seizmic event?

    Stromatolite?

    Hello i found these on a island in the Red Sea. the island is literally made of fossils(LITTERALLY) at the bottom of the island you can find corals you would usually find deeper in the sea and as you climb up the mountain you start seeing shallow water creatures like giant clams. The island reaches 70 meters high and there are fossils up until the top. These fossils(in the pictures) could only be found on the top couple of meters what could these be? thank you for your time !

    Bone fossil found on beach

    This is my first post to this site and I thank you beforehand for any help you can give me with the ID of this piece of bone. I have been vacationing on Little Gasparilla Island for the last years. I am fascinated with the shark's teeth and other things that wash up. I am a surgical PA having both worked in Neurosurgery and now spine with orthopedics. I found this on my most recent trip and recognized it as bone immediately. It is about 3x2x2". The top and bottom appear to be cortical bone and the middle cancellous bone. I ran it by a few surgeon friends and we came up with nada.
  9. On Saturday, I made the trip down to Charleston to hunt for fossils on one of several islands in the Charleston area on which the dredge spoils pulled out of the harbor are deposited. I drove down cautiously optimistic, as I knew that there should be fossils to be found, as the harbor cuts down deep enough to hit the right formation. Even then, my expectations were absolutely blown out of the water. The trip was an unmitigated success, as shown by the photo below. The picture above shows my haul for the whole 4 hours I spent picking over the piles and fields of dredge spoils. One thing I've noticed about fossils from this site is that while I'm finding more and bigger teeth than I might on searching the Summerville creeks, the overall quality seems to be lower, with teeth of similar size being more damaged than their inland counterparts. I'd attribute this to the rough journey from the bottom of the harbor to where I found them. Another interesting thing I've noticed is that I found porportionally way more shark vertebrae and extinct tiger shark teeth than I usually do, and I don't know why this would be. Here I've got some of the specimens I found that I couldn't identify myself. The first shark tooth has two cusps, and the second has an oddly shaped root. The third object I really don't know what it is. If I had to guess I'd say its probably from an invertebrate, maybe a coral. The fourth object is a mammal tooth of some sort, but I don't know what kind. I've included some of my other interesting finds in this shot. Up top is a partial dolphin vertebra, on the left is an interestingly shaped fish vertebra, in the middle is an absolutely tiny C. angustidens tooth, and on the right is one of the best C. carcharias teeth I've found to date. This is my number one find of this trip. I've found some meg chunks and a half tooth in the Summerville creeks, but this is my first nice whole meg. It's 2.9375 inches, but if not for that tip ding it'd probably be around 3.125 inches. I'm not too worked up about it, since it's most likely feeding damage rather than a scar from the dredger. When I came across it, only the very tip of the root was sticking out of the ground, and if it wasn't for the smallest glint of enamel visible, I would have walked past it. I had just picked up a very similar looking and dissapointing meg corner, so when I stooped to grab it I didn't have the hightest expectations. It was really something else when I popped it loose and pulled it out of the ground. It's more than just finding a nice tooth, it's the recognition of the value of the work it's taken to find it. The hours of research, wading through muddy creeks, braving the sun, the tide, the mosquitoes (which by the way there were a lot of at this site). It's not so much that it's paid off, because there's no one end goal to this hobby. It's more of a journey for the journey's sake. The gratification here comes from knowing you're on the right path.

    Was this rock underwater ?

    In our cottage in an island there are these big rocks that were dug up from the ground when we first built our house but there is one rock in particular that looks like it may have been underwater at some point and I sure am interested in the possibility of maybe finding some fossils, what's your opinion ?does it look like it may have been underwater? And could this area have fossils? Thanks

    No idea about what this is.

    Recently re discovered a bunch of these things that we got from the Canary Islands. They were all washed up on the beaches and they do not look stricktly geological to me and looks kind of like some kind of modern calcified organism or trace of one. I stumbled upon a book at some point, I believe it was called Darwin's Fossils that said these were some kind of remains of algae that have fossilized, but when I looked that up there was no evidence I could find supporting this claim, maybe someone else knows what these things could be? Any new insight is appreciated, Thank you.
