Phoenixflood Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I was too lazy to take new pictures and seperate the makos into PCS pics. But I bet you can guess which ones are from this place?

Guest Smilodon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 my favorite phosphate mine "fossil" made out of raw fossil coral - talk about your heartbreaker! I'd like to think I would have found it if I had gone right instead of left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Menser Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Here's some classics from the phosphates of Bartow, Florida; once famous for some outrageously colored shark teeth. Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoMike Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Since some of the older photo links are broken, I figured I'd add some of my stuff to the thread. Bone Valley Megalodons (& 1 possible Mako) from a post-processing spoil pile in a closed Fort Meade, FL mine. Phosphatized baculite & gastropod from the North Sulphur River, TX.
