Still on the hunt before classes begin again next week. This weekend the boys and I ventured 5 1/2 hours north to the head of the Chesapeake Bay. So far... I should have gone back to Folly Beach! Lol. Some shells, neat iron formations, but no teeth yet. Brought the sifter this time but Calvert Cliffs isn’t the place for my old knees to carry much on a hike. Many people in competetion for fossil teeth. There were more people hunting on 180’ of beach 30’ wide than all of Folly Beach last weekend. Water is very cold and it is a tidal influenced area.

It is close to Midnight, about an hour before I leave Syracuse for a 5hr drive to the Cretaceous of New Jersey. I tried to get some sleep around 8:30 but all I could do was toss and turn as I am excited to get one last hunt in before the new year. I am bringing a co-worker and his girlfriend along. This will be their first Cretaceous hunt. We will be meeting g up with @Trevor @The Jersey Devil and another of Trevor's friends. Unfortunately Frank is not feeling well so won't be meeting up for this hunt. The weather is supposed to be warm but is calling for rain all day. I guess we will just have to make the best of it. The only reason I am even posting this right now is because I am so anxious. The weather here in New York has been pretty bad for me too do much in the way of fossilhunts, plus I have been too busy. I am off for the next couple weeks while my company moves to a brand new building that they had built. Anyways I am sitting g here counting the minutes till I leave. The car is all packed. I hope that I am not forgetting anything. I will be sure to let you all know how it goes. Wish us luck! ( Please)

Well, folly Beach worked out much better than Edisto Beach for fossils. Almost no one was hunting fossils...almost. One lady had 48 very small teeth. Spent several hours pacing the Surfline watching for them to be uncovered. Fossil bone fragments were very common and not hard to find at all. The south side of the island was the best for bones frags, but teeth seemed to be anywhere in the surf according to the tooth lady. She had a running bet as to who had to buy dinner with two other people hunting teeth closer to the pier. There was a fair abundance of nice specimen modern shells to be had as well. Most are smaller but very good in quality. Totals: 7 pcs turtle shell fragments. 14 whale bone 1 broken Meg tooth 1 unknown nasal bridge 4 pcs terrestrial bone fragments. 1 Ray crusher plate 20+ copralites and phosphate nodules.

I figured that while we are on a show me your sharkteeth kick, why not show some of our specail sandtiger teeth The poor sandtiger hardly gets any press, but they can still be a nice addition to any collection. Here is my absolute favorite. It is another Brownies beach special. When I found it in the surf it was a dark black/grey color. But when it dried out I got a blue/tan mottled blade with a brown root. Also the root is kind of oversized for the blade. It has some wicked cusps as well.

Got back to the coast of Ga/Fla again for our annual fall trip to Amelia Island for the Ga/Fla football game. As a UGA grad, we shant discuss the game. But we can talk about some fossil finding. A friend of mine that knew I'd gotten into shark tooth hunting put me in touch with one of her work colleagues that told me of a place a short boat ride from Amelia island that usually had good teeth. Wanting to check it out I chartered a boat ride. What resulted was the best shark tooth hunting of my life on what I believe is an old drege spoil spot. Two steps off the boat I found a perfect 2 inch great white. (of course I later dropped it showing it to my kids and broke it on condo floor). For 150 minutes I averaged 3 teeth a minute. If I walked 3 steps and didn't find one I was shocked. It was an amazing trip. Found many larger teeth which for me are in the nickel to quarter size. Much larger average than my usual beach hunting. Go two of the best intact hemi's I've ever found. Added another 250 or so I found on the beach of Amelia for a total of 716 for the trip. Puts me over 2100 for the calendar year. I can't give the location of the new honey hole. Was promised to secrecy. But should you decide to hunt on Amelia Island your best bet is to go up to the north end near Fort Clinch and park at the fishing pier. Much larger teeth up that way than on the south end of the island where we usually stay. Up there I found plenty of other fossils including turtle shell, puffer fish mouth plates, ray plates, ray stingers, fish verts, etc. Averaged 25 teeth an hour up on that northern end. Won't get to hunt again till early January when I'll make a quick mid day run to Savannah Ga coastline while on a deer hunting trip in SE Ga.

Here's another view of the teeth with special attention to the larger fragment near the center. This piece is most likely a great white or other large predatory shark. I doubt it's a megalodon, but it could be or one of it's smaller cousins. I've found meg shards at the cliffs before. -

Will Be In The Charleston, Sc Area This Weekend...
ibuprofen200mg posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Will be in the area this weekend, just casting a net out there to see if anyone would like to meet up Saturday or Sunday for an afternoon hunt. As of now I plan on sifting in a couple regular creeks, hitting a decent land spot, and looking for new locations. I'll have my car and can bring extra sifting gear if need be, dont have a boat, , but what can you do? -
Hey all, I've been enjoying this forum now for several months, even traded with some members allready, and it's just such a nice community! Thanks for this. I have some stuff I want to trade (exchange). For the fun. For the collection. Numerous things as sharkteeth, whale/dolphin vertebrae, crab, belemites, pet wood, trilobites, ammonites, bivalves/gastropods... Pictures will be posted every several weeks. What am I looking for? 2 Things: a/ ANYTHING from Cap Blanc Nez (from Escalles to Strouanne), France b/ ANY albian/aptian (from ANYWHERE) ammonite or heteromorphe ammonites I could trade for other stuff, to trade your stuff further (joy! joy! *ahum* this is for helping you out with your collection, just don't get me bankrupt on this by transportcosts :-)) To get an ID, allready some global pics below: vertebrae/bulla/mix shark teeth Antwerp -Belgium Hexy- Antwerp-Belgium Misc -Antwerp-Belgium Whale- Antwerp-Belgium 'Coeur de Boeuf'-Chatillon-s-Seine-France Misc.

Hey all, After a horrible busy year @ work .. I finally got the chance to go for a few quick trips. For me this means the awesome beach of Cap Blanc Nez, France. Not too much wind, a lot of ppl that searched during summer .. I wasn't expecting much, it was as important to be out oce more then to collect .. I'm sure you know that feeling :-) It's about a 50min drive from my place .. so I mostly go for a morning or more rarely some afternoon. Depending on the tide and, oh yes, my work. This is from 2 times 3-4hours searching. I have to say, the second trip, there was at least 200 people looking for fossils. It's a popular place for excursions from schools and universities. As was that day .. Nevertheless, it helps if you know what you are looking for (this being one of fossil' hunters most important keep-in-minds). These just came out of paper last days.. I hope I'll get to show you the preps of these ..we'll see... There are Ammonites Belemites Fish vertebrea Hamites sp. Turitella sp. Shark tooth Inoceramus sp.(and others) petrified wood (partially pyritised) .. Edit: Finds are Albian and Cenoman of age (middle-Cretaceous)
