Today I went sifting in some sand/gravel on a riverbank along the Trent river and managed to find some good looking fossils! Don't mind the man-made stuff never know what to expect out there.

So a couple of weeks ago, I, along with my younger brother, decided to embark on our first field trip with the Dallas Paleontological Society. The destination was Moss Creek, a decently sized waterway on private property that feeds into the NSR. Just like in the main river, we were seeking a red layer exposure of the Ozan Fm (though I read that this red layer is different from the one at the river). This site is famous for its abundance of marine microfossils, namely shark/fish teeth. One of the people on the trip was a researcher (Shawn Hamm) who is currently finishing up a paper on this very

Hey hi Everybody! I like the unusual teeth. And posterior teeth are some of the most unusual in any given species. So I thought I would start a thread for posterior shark teeth of any species. To kick it off..... Here are some from Shark tooth hill (round mountain silt). I think these are Carcharodon hastalis and (?) planus. The smallest one is just under 1/8th inch wide. So, if You have any posterior shark teeth - please post pictures here. Thanks, Tony

I know I've barely made it to the little league (or still tee-ball maybe?) but I wanted to share some finds from yesterday and last Saturday. (For those who aren't familiar with the baseball reference, it means that my fossil hunting skill level is the lowest level there is. ) Anyway, walked two creeks last Saturday and a few yesterday (two of the same from last weekend). Yesterday alone, I found 155 shark teeth as well as 17 ray mouth plate pieces, a few vertebrae, some steinkerns worthy of picking up, a barracuda tooth or two, and a ton of unidentifiable bone shards that I event

I got a box of micro matrix from PaleoCris - Bone Valley Formation from Florida and I am STUNNED by the beautiful colors and preservation! I knew Bone Valley stuff was good...but wow. And he threw in some "extra" fossils of a nice big echinoid and a claw of some thing...maybe extinct armadillo. I still havn't gone through all the matrix, but wanted to show ya'll some of the nice stuff: All are around 1/8 inch - 1/4 inch This crazy Fish tooth plate - Labrodon sp. I think this is Baracuda? I love the little ray teeth Rhynchobatus. Sadly, this one

Went through about half a pint of the sifted matrix I brought home from Aurora. There were shark teeth as I had expected, way more urchin spines than I would have guessed and some small coral like pieces I'm not sure exactly what they are. Nice sample including the pieces in the top left I am trying to identify: Tried taking pic with clip on micro lens for the phone:

Went to my two favorite spots yesterday and found quite a bit. Even though one spot usually produces frags, they at least had the cusps still on them this time, so I was able to identify 2 angustidens and 2 chubs (my first ones!). Need help with two teeth and some sort of jaw piece. Tooth 1: Tooth 1 Tooth 1 Tooth 1 Here is tooth 2: Tooth 2 Tooth 2 Tooth 2 And for the little jaw piece: Jaw with teeth Jaw with teeth Jaw with teeth Jaw with teeth There is a mix of epochs there

Going on a trip to Amelia island in a couple weeks and I would love to know some tips/locations for fossil hunting there. Thanks in advance.

First time fossil hunting and I brought back the teeth, bone and miscellaneous finds dug up from a spot along the South Carolina coast. I would love some help identifying the bigger ones, or anything that is noteworthy. I'm especially eager to get the right ID on Group B. Here are my guesses, but I am very new to this... Group B: 1-3, 7 and 8: Snaggletooth shark? 4: Megalodon (top left broken) 5: Sand tiger? 6: No idea. The curve seems to be part of the tooth shape, not a result of chipping. I can post a close-up of it or the other side. Group A: Baby Shark

Anyone planning to go to the Aurora Fossil Fest this month?
RandyB posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Wondering if anyone is planning to attend this years fossil festival in Aurora, NC Memorial weekend or if anyone who has attended previously has any recommendations/advice? I've spoken to the director and know the basics, just looking for any insight a first timer should be aware of. -

Eocene Threshers from Kazakhstan - an early appearance of the genus. -

Reconstructed tooth set from a "Crow" shark - Squalicorax (could be S. falcatus) - illustrating the variety of tooth positions. Anterior teeth have erect, triangular cusps. Lateral teeth and posteriors are more common and have an increasingly posteriorly slanted crown, resembling the teeth of modern tiger sharks. -

Jumped at the chance for my daughter to join me for a couple of days of digging the Peace and although we didn’t find anything big the smalls kept us more than busy and the variety of finds was enough to put a smile on her face. The weather on May 20th was perfect with the river low and slow and scattered rain - we decided to try a new area and found some good gravel and it did not disappoint. Lots of sharks teeth, and enough other goodies kept us busy and we put in a full 8 hours of sifting. Day 2 - what a change ! Overnight rains ended about 9 am and we found the river had risen close to a

Hi All, Today I went fossil hunting (Neogene sediments in Belgium). Found some pretty nice shark teeth and 2 Squalodon sp. teeth (one with crown only and one with crown and root). Also some Carcharodon hastalis (Agassiz, 1843) and two tiger shark teeth. For the rest smaller shark teeth, a partial shark vertebrae and Notorynchus sp. teeth. Found 1 special tooth and thought it could be a Parotodus benedeni (Le Hon, 1871). Thick root and crown. Quite big (3.5-3.6 cm). Very curved.
