32fordboy Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) For some odd reason, I am crazy over blue fossils. Baby blue, neon blue, navy blue, grey-blue, it doesn't matter. I'd like to see your blue fossils! Here are five to get you going. They are little, but very pretty. Some shark teeth, an Imperial Mammoth molar, and a Teleoceras rhino molar.

32fordboy Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Wow, this thread is really taking off! And look at that mammoth tusk. That is the nicest tusk I've seen, hands down. Wasn't going to post this for a while but, since the thread is going strong right now, here is the only other blue fossil currently in the collection. It's Jaguar material from Florida. Keep 'em coming. Everything in this thread has been amazing so far. Edited August 7, 2012 by 32fordboy 1 www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 This is probably the most exciting fossil I have found this year. I posted it a while back, so you guys have seen these pix if you've been paying attention. These are blue-green Eocene crocodilian bones from the Wasatch Fm of southwest Wyoming. I have been slowly doing some prep work on them and there is more out there to be collected (over Labor Day, I hope). I posted on this that someone told me these were actually turquoise, but I have also heard form other mineral folks that they are likely some other blue-green mineral. The first photo here is of a small plate of rock with a vertebra in it: The second photo is the bottom side of that same plate. And this is the group of plates all put together more or less. The piece in the abopve pix is at the top right. The color is ba don this, but you can still see the bluish color, especially of the triangle shaped bone at center right... a cervical rib. I am pretty excited about this and would be thrilled if it has a skull. Oh, and you guys will hear about it if it does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a nice Muncie spot that appears unhunted (except by me for a few minutes). Time to start digging and I'll be looking for those! 1 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossiladdict Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I am like in awe over all the blue fossils! I was excited and went searching through some of my fossils that are displayed...guess I haven't found a lot of blues around here in Texas, but here are a few that have hints of blue . 1 Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous!
