ElToro Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 My finds from my fossil hunt in the Cretaceous Molecap Greensand (83-86myo) of Gingin on Sunday. A great serrated shark tooth and a fragment of a Notorynchus shark tooth. Sadly I broke one of the three points off! Also a few other bits. Had a great time even tho it was hot and a big Western Brown Snake (highly venomous) settled about 6foot from me and watched the whole time. We chatted while I hunted.

ElToro Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nice finds there Dan, you did well mate! Thanx mate! It was super awesome as ever. The Honey Hole once again yielded its treasure. I rekon that after a big rain it would be the best. I also spent a bit of time with my nose against the face, looking for exposed teeth, but no cigar this time. (I'm doing a rain dance right now) "That belongs in a museum!" - Indiana Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElToro Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nice trip ! and with poisonous critters to top it ! It wouldn't be a true Aussie fossil hunt without critters that can put you in the ER by just looking at you.

Manticocerasman Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 What's GW? The tooth is Cretaceous. GW : Great white, But if this is a cretaceous tooth it is something else. growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElToro Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 GW : Great white, But if this is a cretaceous tooth it is something else. Yea, its from the Gingin Chalk, 83myo. Back when sharks were reptile bait. "That belongs in a museum!" - Indiana Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
