  1. Elasmonut

    Tiny moroccan shark teeth

    I got these tiny teeth in some bulk Moroccan stuff, I assumed carchihinid but I saw another dealer has similar larger stuff as Physogaleus secundus. My largest tooth is about 3-5mm Any advice or rescources from the wise heads here is appreciated in advance
  2. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this on the forum, but I am going to be completely honest and admit that I need advice on trying to get this fossil out in one piece. I have a small portable rock saw which I have tried using to no avail. I have also tried chiseling around it but I am an amateur and have only used this rock saw on easier-to-get targets. I do not want to break this and glue it back together unless it is absolutely necessary. My original plan was to cut in a sort of # pattern and chisel the sides till I got deep enough to chisel out a rectangular slab but then got cold feet. This fin spine is lodged in a half-sunken 5 to 7-inch thick chunk of limestone that is too large to carry or move. I want to try and extract this fossil before the rock pile gets taken to the dump, or this fossil erodes completely into nothing. I know it's not in the best shape but it means a lot to me as it was my first "big find" when I started field collecting a few years ago and any advice is appreciated. I am not sure if I should just keep chiseling the sawed portions till it begins to break loose or what my next steps should be. It is also so close to being covered in sediment and so close to another chunk of limestone I am unable to fit the portable saw blade completely in place to saw more for the bottom portion, beyond where it is already cut. (it is at an incline and the rocks form a sort of V shape). Image taken before sawing began (I am leaning on the other rock): Where I am at: Edit: I think I need to keep chiseling it, but I wanted to consult the experts before I continue further. I think i may have panicked when I heard that the landowner may be calling waste management in a few months. Once again sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, and move this post if need be.

    Meg 3.10.24

    From the album: Fin Lover's South Carolina Finds

    It's broken, but I guess I've joined the 4 inch meg club!

    Fossil shark vertebrae.

    I found this shark vertebrae on the beach. I believe it is from a Scylirhinoid. Am I correct?

    Fossilised Coral on Megalodon tooth?

    I just got a megalodon tooth a few days ago. It has coral on the top of it. Is it fossilised or modern? The tooth itself is estimated to be around 5 million years, and it was found in Wilmington, North Carolina.

    Carboniferous Microfossils

    I've been looking and pulverized rock under a microscope and have found some interesting items. The first image is possibly a fish jaw, followed by a possible shark spine fragment. Any ideas on those 100% or the rest? Thanks.
  8. 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.
  9. This ia an object I found on a gravel path on the southern shore of Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisc. I always thought it was a fossilized shark tooth, but after finding this discussion, I'm not as convinced as I once was. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
  10. Hi. Miss everyone. Hope all well. It’s been way too long. Went out twice last month in northern NJ. Felt so good to be out in the creeks in nature and get away from all the life snarge. Two finds I need help with and some nice teeth I found. Hope everyone is well. Miss everyone!
  11. It’s her biggest one and we always wondered what it is. But now I’m starting to get more into fossils
  12. I finally finished out sorting my GMR matrix and I have a few small shark teeth and the like that I’m interested in! 1) 2) 3) 4) Reptile hopefully? 5) hybodont? 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) I shared this with Dr. Shimada, who thinks its Cantioscyllium or Plicatoscyllium? 12) 13) Ray crusher plate? 14) Catshark? 15) 16) 17) 18) 19) 20)

    Peru Shark teeth hunt

    If anyone has stories, tips, experiences/ images of hunting in Peru, specifically the Ocucaje desert that would be so interesting! I have thinking about traveling there for a long time! (I know you can’t take the teeth out of country)
