ynot Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Hey all, I just got home after 17 days in NC and wanted to post the finds from three days at the Aurora Fossil museum. DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 I found 6 teeth and 1 vertebra of dolphin, three fish vertebra, 1/3 shark vertebra, around 200 shark teeth (including an one inch meg. and a seven gill shark), and several sea shell and corals. All in all I had a good day(s), even though most of the shark teeth are very small. Edited October 12, 2014 by ynot Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

lissa318 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Nice job!!! Is that the meg at the top right corner on day 2? Looks like there's a cusplet on it... Does that make it a chubensis??? I'm not an expert at all but throwing that out there just in case... lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hey Lissa318, Thanks. Yes to both questions- that is the meg and it does have a cusp- do not know about the other part. Here is a pic of the larger teeth ( 0.25 inch and up ) after cleaning--- I think My estimate of 200 teeth was low- it should have been closer to 400! Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

ynot Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hey-lo sharko69, Thanks. I think it will be difficult to sort them all out and get them identified. A project that I am looking forward to ( half the fun of collecting ). So far I have Identified-- snaggletooth, great white, mako. megladon. tiger, sand tiger dusky and seven gill.
