mdlock Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 I am just asking if there is anything that a "trained" eye that I obviously am not that someone sees something that would be worth posting. Nothing will ever be sold as to preserve these amazing remnants of the past for my grandchildren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Could be plenty of goodies in there to please the grandkids. If it was my collection I would buy some very cheap cardboard trays/boxes (they white in colour) and cottonwool and sort them out a bit . Make the collection much more enjoyable to look at and we will help you with as much info that we can . I think this collection is worth saving.

Darktooth Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I like the shark vertabrae. It was the first thing my eye noticed. You also have some coral and shell fossils. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alternative to the perky boxes is a tackle box, or a hardware box that one used to keep nails, nuts, bolts, et I noticed that “manta ray teeth” is written on the plastic bag. Those are more in the “stingray” family. Manta ray teeth are tiny 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

Yeah, please post all these labeled and bagged stuff, including the label, @mdlock. Unfortunately, some labels have already fallen off. In general, this seems to be a wild mixture of different stuff. Some Cenozoic marine fossils (I am noticing a nice "Glycimeris", the big white shell to the left), but probably also some Cretaceous oyster-like bivalves? There is also a steinkern of a high-spired gastropod. Franz Bernhard Edited August 6, 2021 by FranzBernhard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdlock Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 ok looks like i will be googling a few things. you are all awesome for help and suggestions. This has inspired me to take my grandkids and a 12 year old son to go on some fossil hunts. In other words find all the cool looking things we can. Any suggestions??? I live in Maryland around 95 corridor from Baltimore to my sons in Cecil County in Northern Md. I did locate glasses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never collected in Maryland myself but Calvert Cliffs is a famous public site for shark teeth close by (in my rural state definition) to your location. Cecil County has records of Cretaceous and Eocene plant fossils you could try looking into. You can find lots of information on site prospecting in the pinned topics of the fossil hunting trips sub forum. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/forum/20-fossil-hunting-trips/ Finally, clubs and societies are often a great way to get to know more about the area, connect with people with experience, and often go on collecting field trips. There seems to be a lot in the area so I'd do some research and find which ones seem to fit your interests the most. Here's a list. http://www.mgs.md.gov/geology/clubs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
