Recommended Posts

Hello to all. I found these vertebrae of Otodus and are looking teeth. Think they're still visible even other parts of the body?

Sorry if I did not give particulars. The excavation is in progress in the mine in 'Ypresian Phosphate of Morocco. For now, I found about 125 vertebrae, the largest have a diameter of about 10 cm. I found only one tooth and 3 "shells" and I am going in search of others, Thanks for the appreciation.

I tried to think of some clever way to say wow that is an amazing bunch of verts. But I could not think of anything. Nicely done! Those are very cool!

That is a big shark. When you find the teeth, they are bound to be big!

Superlative serendipity of the selachian sort!

I especially enjoy seeing Moroccan in situ shots for several reasons. Thank you for posting. In fact, feel free to share in situ shots of all your finds. I'll never grow tired of seeing them.

Hello everyone, I finally found teeth, and other vertebrae, but need a lot of work to get them out of the excavation, and reduce the size of the room to safety. I think I leave everything in place now, once I finish I think I'll pull out whole. here are some photos.

For those of you that aren't fluent in English slang, "Killer Find!" means a very very good find.

Needless to say, it is a find of a lifetime!

Congratulations, Snen!
