Hit the Sulphur today to see what the rains washed up. I checked out 4 different bridges and hunted at 2 of them. There were trucks at 3 of the 4 bridges. Only ran in to one other guy out there. Older guy that said he'd been hunting the river since the 80's. Many of the gravel bars were still under water getting washed. I imagine that in a few day there's going to be a lot of goodies on those bars. The mud was brutal sinking nearly to my knees at times and it took me hours before I found anything of note. But it payed off. It was definitely a day of firsts for me. I found my first Mos vert! And not just one but 5! The big guy was the first one I found. I believe the other big one is either fish or shark. I also finally found the fabled red zones and found some great detailed ammonites of different verities/species. Then as I'm sitting down to eat a bagel and BAM! I found my first arrowhead! Had a great day!

Hi all, we found this at the beach today - doesn't look like a marine mammal, and my guess is recent storm run off brought it down a creek. Any idea if it is a fossil or just a bone? Seems like a cow/bison cervical vertebrae, perhaps.

I found this on the beach this morning. It was actually along a riverbed that runs into the ocean on the coast of California. I found other bones that appeared to be fresh and likely from a cow but this one was considerably older and smaller.

It took until the last day of the year but I finally found my first Megalodon tooth! It is a small, very worn one with root damage but I'm still pumped about finding it! My wife found her first vertebrae as well as her first fragalodon. I've had a blast since I took this hobby up in July, can't wait to see what the new year brings! A thank you goes out to everyone here who has been so generous in sharing your knowledge, it more appreciated than you will ever know! I hope you all have a great new year! The total haul: The biggest vert: My little, worn Meg and the nicest Snaggletooth I have ever found: My wife's frag:

Back view of an unidentified vertebrae that is nearly 4.5 inches long and 2 inches wide. This vertebrae is to large for a dolphin and still has the cookie formation in the middle indicating the specimen was a juvenile. -

Right up front, I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. I left the vertebrae in place so these are the only photos I have. This series of 8 vertebrae were found weathered out in what I believe to be Whitewater, Brule in the general area of Interior South Dakota Badlands. I would love to have an ID!

Another find from my yard, this one in a pile of other fragments that look like bone, inhavent had a chance to wash them yet. I found a huge pile that was next to my shell mound "driveway" there were also some crude looking points mixed in with the pile... wish an archeologist would pay attention to me already! It's about 15cm long.. that's a rough guess since the measurer keeps getting moved.

Hello all. Another find from my recent trip which remained in situ. I am still searching for my first bone find or confirmed sea reptile I.D. So here goes. I am hoping this is a vertebrae from an ichthyosaur... Fingers crossed.

Hey everybody! I'm new to the Fossil Forum! I've seen it for years now and decided to finally join! I'm excited about learning about fossil, teeth, shells, history.. I am from Virginia. Been collecting shark teeth and old shells for about 4 years now. I'm currently trying to learn how to navigate through the website. Any good info for a new user is greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, In anticipation for my trip to Kansas next week, I wanted to see how ya'll would recommend prepping specimens in a chalk matrix. I'm hoping to find some fish bones, vertebrae, and teeth if I'm lucky. I previously was able to scrape and scratch matrix off some stuff I found the last time I went with a carbide-tipped scratcher and I also used my water gun to blow matrix off of the fossils. I found some neat pyrite concretions too and was able to use dilute HCl to nicely dissolve the matrix away but wanted to avoid doing this on fossil specimens since I didn't know if the fossils would also be dissolved away. I was recommended using dental picks to remove material from the fossils since the matrix is so soft. Is there a better way to do this since I don't have pneumatic or electronic prep equipment? Thanks for your help!

Today was probably the last family day on the river, I could tell that my girls were over going to the river but they reluctantly went along...I have a feeling that I will have many trips to the mall this winter to make up for it (small price to pay ). I took the family to a new area for them, my wife loved the area and I'm sure that we will be making the trip together again before it gets too cold. She stayed behind with the kids while I made my usual long trek in search of the unknown...as it turned out, maybe she had the right idea. I came back with a small Otodus, a beat up croc tooth, a vert, some sea glass/china, and the usual plethora of sand tiger teeth. She on the other hand found her first Paraorthacodus clarkii that she thought was just about the coolest tooth that she ever found...and a crocodile scute! I'm wondering if a member from here was the one who identified it for her because a gentleman who was searching near her and the kids apparently was extremely knowledgeable and identified a bunch of things for her, including the scute, which he said was the smallest one he had ever seen and said it would have come from a baby croc. I think I'm going to get out on the lower Potomac on Monday...at least I hope I will. The complete haul. Some of the better teeth. Scute, vert, beat up croc tooth, Paraorthacodus clarkii, glass/china, couple of ray plates. Scute enlarged. Vert enlarged. Paraorthacodus clarkii - she is really in love with this tooth, wrapped it in a tissue to protect it on the way home. Otodus.

A Few of my Teeth!! -
Greetings, all! This was found in an area that had tons of material from the area brought in and dumped in piles ( from various unknown locations ). So multiple formations were inevitably mixed up, at least partially, at times. The was upper and lower EagleFord, Woodbine, and perhaps Kamp ranch formations all in the same area. The area I found this is in Grand Prairie, TX. In the same spot, I found many shark and ray teeth, some Crinoid parts, some smaller shark/fish vertebrae,and what seems to be a croc osteoderm..and some other odds and ends. Maybe someone can help me identify this one.. was told "sort of looks like a "piece" of a beat up cervical vert, like part of the centrum and a part of a zygopothesis" Thoughts?
