Looking Back at my Bone Valley hunt; on May 7th, 2023
Rock Hound posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I hunted for 6.5 hours; at a paid access private property on May 7th, 2023 in Bowling Green, Florida. Pictured here, are only the Shark Teeth I found that day. There were a bunch of other fossils found; but most of the people there, were mainly searching for Shark Teeth. Especially, Megalodon Teeth. My picture here, is an example of what Shark Teeth may be found; if one doesn't get into the Megalodon Teeth, with much success. I believe I counted 160 Shark Teeth, in this photo. Fortunately; i also found lots of Mammal Bone, and other types of Fossil Teeth that day. I found a p -
Recent Trip to the Bone Valley Fossil Farm, in Bowling Green, Florida:
Rock Hound posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
After much consideration; I decided to allow someone else, to introduce me to their local fossil rich area. At the Bone Valley Fossil Farm; the owners have used heavy equipment to remove the upper 12 feet of sandy topsoil. Doing so, exposes Megalodon era fossil layers. The fossil layer is then dug out with heavy equipment, and is piled up at wet screening wash stations on the owner's property. This is a paid access fossil site, and all necessary wet screening equipment is furnished for you. I found a good variety of fossils; during 6 1/2 hours of frantic, almost non -
These 2 Fossils, with matrix attached; came out of a fossil rich pile of soil, at the Bone Valley Fossil Farm. This soil contained Megalodon Shark Teeth, Hemipristis Serra Shark Teeth, Dugong Rib Bones, etc. These 2 Fossils, were the only ones I found; which were these colors. (The Dugong Bones were White, and the Shark Teeth had Black Enamel and Greyish White Roots.) I believe both of these, to be Mammal Teeth. What say you? 1st Specimen:

Florida - Venice - Bone Valley suggestions or hunting buddies
Jasons_fossils posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello all, I'm making my fourth trip to Venice in a few weeks and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good land sites in the area, or further inland to where one might find Bone Valley teeth. Would also enjoy the company if you have a secret spot that you don't want to disclose the location of. I'll be diving in Venice a few days and maybe a trip out to Peace River, but I've always wanted to find a good Florida land site. -
Why do southern californians go to Diamond Valley for fossil hunting.
whovin posted a topic in Questions & Answers
People have told me to go to Diamond Valley, They said there are lots of fossils there. The lake is man made though. Paleontologist already dug out the fossils. So what is so good about it. -

I'll be gathering more Bone Valley matrix
joshuajbelanger posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
I'm heading out in the morning to gather more BV matrix, as it was so popular the first time. Same rules apply, send me whatever fossilly goodness you feel like, and I'll send you a ton of this stuff. I'll try to be selective on the pieces I gather tomorrow, but as always, it's always a gamble. I'm interested in all fossils, verts, inverts, and plants! -Thanks J -
Good day to all, Figured Id post my last two hiking trips together. Moving from small coral fossils in the river bed to much larger and defined fossils in the banks. Hard work does pay off. Ive put a lot of miles on; Whether it be bent over looking up and down riverbeds to gazing at hillsides for anything that pops out. Slowly, with a little research and time out in the field my finds just keep getting better. I stumbled onto a nice bank, which is providing most of these finds here. Some in concretions and some not. Tell me what you think! Thanks, Dyl

I noticed that fossil dugong rib bones from Florida often have boring worm holes in them, though these are not predators per se, and have heard that shark marks can be found. Any other kinds of marks I should look out for? How common is it to find shark bite marks on the ribs?
