My First Trip - Greece


The Duke of Fossil

Recommended Posts

Well this my first discovery a quite lucky one, i can tell.

The location was a hill at about 120 feet and 1km away from sea.

I found many shells and bivalves there.

I just made a small research and found the following.

Land was formed here at late Pliocene it was sea until then.

So the shells are at least 2.5 million years old as i can say.

The stange thing is that i found something that looks like a canine tooth (3.5 cm).

And something like a bone that seams semi-fossilized.

I would like to hear your opinion and share the joy of my first discovery.

Thanks

The first object, while tooth-shaped, does not show any enamel, nor underlying bony structure. If it is a fossil of any sort, it could be a water-worn burrow.

The second specimen is part of an ungulate's metapoidal bone; maybe sheep?

The third group are indeed fossils: scallops, oysters, and clams.

2 year old thread, and the original poster has not been on site since then.

Probably "the duke of fossil"  will not reply.
