Shellseeker Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I went out hunting the Peace River yesterday. Spent a couple of hours with so-so results and because I was close to a favored location that has always been more Pliocene (lots of marine), than Pleistocene (few/no mammal fossils), I decided to spend 3 hours there. It's primary attraction are small pretty shark teeth. On the right are morning finds and on the left, one of my favorite hunting locations. On the left are dugong rib fossils, very dense, and not the typical Peace River black color. So , Let walk thru some of the many finds. I love the tiny upper Hemi teeth.. and especially when they are yellow !!!.. a relatively rare color, especially in the river. Next up are a Crocodile tooth (?) and something that looks like a claw, but is more likely a broken lower hemi. Here is a better photo of the croc tooth sitting on a piece of dugong rib. . and a better photo of the broken lower Hemi.... I have found fragments of megs here and one whole Meg, ray teeth, pufferfish mouthplate, sea urchin spines, Hemis, a few Makos, Galeocerdo cuvier tigers, but not aduncus or contortus. This spot has a very narrow range of fauna fossils. Always interesting , always relaxing. 1 5 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
