Meganeura Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Went with my wife to a pay site today - our second time here, but I convinced her to let me stay all day instead of just half the day this time! Overall it was a very lucrative hunt, and I’ve walked away with my new fav finds! Also had the pleasure of meeting @Nimravis who told me to post here, as well as taught me about a bunch of the fossils I found. Anyway, the finds: Starting with my fav, a mostly intact whale vertebrae: My new favorite Meg tooth - which happens to have lightning in the root: A baby posterior Meg tooth: And multiple Meg fragments, including a file/hollow tooth: A partial mako and multi-layered ray mouth plate: Some gorgeous snaggletooths, sting ray barb, shark vertebrae, and bone/antler that my wife found that we’re not sure what it is: And the rest of the many teeth and ray plates and other fossils we found: Overall it was an awesome day! Next week I’ll be taking a canoe down Peace River and will hopefully have some fun finds to share! 10 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.cheese Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I am just a little jealous! I like the idea of a paid site, not something we have in the UK I don't think? If you don't mind me asking how much is it and what kind of rules is there? Is it a free for all on a 1000 acres or piles of overspill from a quarry or something? The idea fascinates me! Great finds by the way too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great finds by the way too! They give each of us individual piles of material/gravel, a hose, and you spray down the pile. @Nimravis has a much more detailed post with pictures of the site itself and the layout that will do a much better job answering your questions though! And thank you very much, they’re definitely my fav finds! 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
