Like that tooth on the bottom right.

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

wow awesome situ pix B)

does any one have some from florida, mabey gainesville? i love the colors

When I get back home and to my desktop, I will post some old ones. They aren't true "in situ" shots, because the location involves a lot of (back-breaking) digging to produce larger finds. The shots will be as they were first seen, but in shovels or screens.

This tooth is way nicer than the horribly fuzzy pic shows. Blue and white spotted.

A nice, unusual Delphinodon sp. tooth.

This was an exciting find. I saw a "meg" in the shovel, sat it and down and got the camera. When I focused the camera, I realized there were no serrations.

I'll have to rescue some pics from an old hard drive I have later and post some other ones.

Cool vert, John.

Here are some Cretaceous fossils, mostly urchins.

There is an irregular urchin in the marl at the bottom right of this photo. The goat was a better climber than me. I left it there.

Regular and irregular urchins, some spine pieces, oysters, etc.

3 pics of 2 different teeth in situ. This was offshore from Venice Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico, in 30 ft deep water. We were less than 1.5 miles out. These pics were taken while I was on Aristakat Charters. Aristakat Charters is the best charter service for Venice megalodon tooth diving.

I've never been to GMR, but I know guys that have been to both and say they are almost identical, even down to the amount of trash and stinky water.

oh realy? yea gmr can be bad, expect a shovel full of glass shards, old pop cans and marbles there. these creeks can be a nightmare sometimes, dead rotting animals, pollution, poisonous creatures, mosquitoes.

but we keep comin back huh! :D

I know that Goat! Goldthwaite, right?

Here is a mososaur in Terlingua Creek, Terlingua, TX. The head end was gone and the rest had a good 70 feet of vertical cliff sitting on it. The second photo is of some local Walnut material post Hermine rains. Last is a small (6mm) Mososaur tooth from the TXI quarry at Midlothian, TX. I got that one last Saturday.

i call it the fossil creek stench. i have searched green mill run, the gainesville creeks, and creeks here in south carolina and found that they all smell identical. after you wash when you get home you smell it on your hands for hours after. B)
