MarcoSr Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Very nice variety. You have a good number of the possible micro species from the Aquia Formation. If you want to get some pristine micro teeth from the river sand, try seiving sand for a concentrate to take home to search, in the slough pile areas in the Spring, right after the cliffs have sloughed. Lots of pristine micro teeth from the cliffs wind up on the beach from the sloughing process and the wave action and moving sand hasn't had time to wear the teeth yet.

Mark Kmiecik Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Very cool. How much material did you have to sift to find this number of specimens? Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these containers 3/4 full. I carry in backpack. I believe about 15 sifts dumped in. I take it home and search.

Ludwigia Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 A great thing about micros is that even when you get a huge good haul like this one, they hardly take up much storage space. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
