Hello fellow hunters, I would like share my findings from a little trip i took when i was visiting the Netherlands. After looking up some hot spots at the beaches, I found a little beach next to a power plant called "de kaloot". A good spot for finding shark teeth apparently. After a couple of hours of scanning the beach i moved to the upper part and between all the shell scraps trapped between the stones I found myself a tooth! Not sure what is was I looked it up and I am pretty sure now it must have come from a giant deer. Pretty good shape with a nice blue shade on it. After the find the water starting the rise and I wanted to leave but next to the tooth i found this strange looking stone with what looked like a carving out of it. Either to fish or maybe to use as bead or something? O was wondering if you guys could enlighten me?

Hi all, So, here are a bunch of fossil bittersweet clams (Glycymeris) from different locations. So far they are all labeled as "Glycymeris" (which I'm pretty sure is correct). But I would really like to put a species name on each of them. Therefore I am reaching out to you all, because hopefully you will be able to help me sort this out! 1) Glycymeris from Westerschelde, Netherlands; from the late Pliocene (2.5 million years old). I'm thinking G. radiolyrata, but I'm not sure... 2) Glycymeris from Westerschelde, Netherlands; from the late Pliocene (2.5 million years old). G. obovata maybe? Or G. variabilis???

Hi all, Today at a flea market I purchased a small handful of shells found on the Kaloot (NL), where you can find fossil sharkteeth as well as fossil seashells (and other fossils). He assured me that at least some (if not all) are fossils, which is true: the Pliothyrina in the middle is extinct, so it has to be a fossil; and many of the astartes on the bottom seem to be fossilized too. But I'm not sure that all the shells are fossilized. Therefore I was wondering, does anyone know how to separate fossil shells from modern ones? Best regards, Max
