Roz Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 That is a handy guide. I also saw the actual guide online. Looks like something I'll order.... Beachcomber Guide Here Not sure the guide is about fossils though. Still for you that live by beaches sounds good anyway.. Welcome to the forum!

MOROPUS Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 In the second text, there are two errors on it. Here is the text:"The oldest teeth around Galveston would be from the Miocene epoch (12 to 28 million years) but more likely is from the [i]Pleistocene epoch (2 to 10 million years)[/i] according to Fredrick Pfeil, a German paleontologist I contacted through my fossil network group". I assume it is a print confussion, because if not, this paleontologist assume that Pliocene didn`t exist (or only had 2 million years), and that modern Homo Sapiens, at least, are 2 million year old!

MOROPUS Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 ...Numbers are not my favorite, but as far as I could remember aswell, Miocene finished 5.5 (more or less) million years, not 12 as said in the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I love Galveston but never went fossil hunting there. I found plenty of coconuts on the beach, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks MOROPU I thought the numbers were off but being new could not say for sure I do not have the convenience to say much but will get there I hope.
