hybodus Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Thought it would be cool to find out what everyone's favorite fossil or artifact is in their personal collection - and please post a pic if you can! It's a tough choice for me, as they are all my favorites, but if I had to pick one, I would go with a Edestus heinrihci jaw with three good teeth and three partials. From Sparta Illinois, Labette Formation, Late Pennsylvanian. It's 24.5 cm in length (9.65 in.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 That would definitely have to be the perfect mammoth tooth I haven't found yet! Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roz Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I have lots of favorites, favorite shark teeth, favorite reptile bone, etc., so will post my only shark denticles from north Texas countryside.. I love em! Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 For me it is either the partial Xaphactinus skull found here in Bama, or my complete Oreondont skull found in Wyoming. However, I do have a fondness for blastoids as they are the first whole fossils I found when 6 yrs old. Pictures whenever I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 For me it is the Trilobite my grandfather left to me before he passed away. It is really what sparked my interest in fossils. It can be seen in my Album titled "My first fossil" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleoman Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hello, This is really hard to find a favourite fossil inside a 35 years collection ... I will choose a personal find, done in Antwerp harbour area some years ago. Hexanchus gigas lower jaw lateral tooth, lower Pliocene, 43 millimeters wide. One piece like that can be found on a lifetime ! And the second was found the same day, one hour before. Same beast, same place, 35 millimeters wide.
