TourmalineGuy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hello Everyone! So, it's been so long since I posted on the Fossil Forums it's almost like I'm new again! Since moving away from Florida I haven't done as much collecting, but my recent vacation took me back to the Peace River again! So I spent a day out in the water sifting the gravel and here are some shots of what I found. With the water level so low it was impressively easy to find untouched gravel beds. Here are the horse teeth I found. A few of these are in great shape and possibly from non-Equine horses. I will spend some time figuring those out later. These are a number of my more interesting finds; the top middle carnivore molar was exciting to find, for sure. I'll get better pictures in the ID section later today or tomorrow. This wouldn't be a Peace River post with out some Fragolodons. Great teeth found. Unfortunately the gigantic Hemipristis serra is broken, it would've been close to 2 inches on the long side. Here are the leftovers, several cetacean earbones, bullae and periotics. Mammoth tooth fragments, galore. And then all the funky little things I like to take home to see if I can make sense of them. Overall, it was a great trip! Probably the most productive, in terms of quantity and quality, that I've had out there. I'll be posting a few things in the ID section later, notably the broken Carnivore molar and canine tooth (or dolphin?) that is next to it.

CH4ShotCaller Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Looks like a great vacation, especially a vacation that includes fossil hunting! Thanks for sharing your finds! I'm going 'crabbin' in a couple weekends, the concretion kind.

Megalodon_hunter Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Going to spend a Day on Peace during my Honeymoon. Should prove to be interesting. I like going to peace just for the tranquility these days. I have so much material from there it is absurd. Chris "One of these day's I'm going to find a tooth over 3inches."
