JamieLynn Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Went for a quick two day Galveston get-away. Weather was PERFECT.....75 degrees. Gotta love Texas Winters....and then it dropped to 30 and we had snow flurries the night we got home. Yeesh. So I went to a few spots that were recommended to me to find shark teeth, crabs and other fossils. No luck on the shark teeth, sadly,, nor the crabs, even more sadly.. but I did finally have a little luck at the last site. I was super excited to find a lovely small vertebrae and a bit o bone! Pleistocene era bits, from what I understand of the Galveston bay area. Also found a couple of interesting hash plates- one of coquinas and the impression of larger shells on the backside. That makes me believe these are indeed fossils and not just modern shells. Speaking of....I did find two beautiful little shells that I am not 100 percent sure are modern...perhaps they are pleistocene? I am not at all familiar with this era. And while I did not find any shark teeth, I did find a nice little fossil shop on The Strand and bought some Morrocan shark teeth. So there....i have shark teeth from Galveston. I'm not sure this is fossil or not. But it's pretty cool. Morrocan Shark teeth for $5. Had to buy my stupid shark teeth. 5 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Nice pieces. I especially love your 'pretty cool' piece which is a bryozoan with serpulid worm tubes growing on it. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I guess we can let you squeak by on that one, but I'll have to refer to the rule book for the final decision. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieLynn Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 hahhhah!! I did NOT know it was a shark vert. I was hoping, but I am not familiar enough with verts to know. I figured it was just a fish, but am glad to find out it is shark! 2 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
