Cris Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Wow! Amazing stuff...This is stuff we don't get to see very often. Link to post Share on other sites

Paleoworld-101 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Spectacular fossils, so jealous Link to post Share on other sites
Carcharodontosaurus Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Great fossils there. Diprotodon is something you don't see everyday. I wonder if any other forum members own Diprotodon fossils, or other Australian giants like Megalania. Link to post Share on other sites
TMNH Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Wow awsome finds! Link to post Share on other sites
Ash Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks guys. Megalania is in my top 3 for wants! The others are thylacoleo and pallimnarchus (I've come close! Will post that another day though.) Does anyone know where I can get one of the posters or the Pleistocene fauna of Australia? Haven't check eBay yet. Will have something to tick them off then.

Down under fossil hunter Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I have a couple that I bought from the Queensland museum in the early 90's but that probably doesn't help you too much. I recall seeing them in Australian Geographic and on a Riversleigh book that I read. Link to post Share on other sites
Ash Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Heres the rest of my Diprotodon optatum material (not including random sections of bone). None of it's in great shape, but it is what it is so adding to this thread. 1. Lower incisor (small one) 2 & 3 . Lower jaw section 4 & 5 . Lower jaw where incisors are (one broken off, the other tooth socket gone) 6 & 7 . Lower jaw section, first part of D. optatum i ever found 8 & 9 . Half a tooth i found on a friends property. EDIT: 10 . 3rd upper incisor. Cheers, Ash. Edited March 14, 2013 by Ash Link to post Share on other sites
Cris Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Man, I can't get enough of this kind of stuff. Keep them coming! Link to post Share on other sites
Mike from North Queensland Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Nice find - must find an area that produces mega fauna up my way. Mike Link to post Share on other sites
Ash Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Well, called up a place I haven't searched in 5 years, talking to the fellow he said he'd found a "tooth or horn, about 5" long". Well, no Aussie critters had horns that I know of so had a fair guess... Offered to come out ID it, and also got property managers number. He said sure. Had a look today. What do you know, D. optatum. Lower incisor, rather water worm. "Would you like it?" "If you're offering". And that's how I got the first lower incisor for my collection =D Link to post Share on other sites
Down under fossil hunter Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Great pick up my friend! There was a fair bit of Diprot material at Beenleigh on the weekend. You are lucky you didn't go (not many fossil dealers, all had the same stuff and it was very overpriced)! Link to post Share on other sites
